Adding AHA2940W after installation (SME6.0.1)
« on: September 04, 2004, 06:39:53 PM »
Does anyone know the proper way to add a driver for a SCSI card (Adaptec 2940W) added after SME 6.0.1 has been installed?

The best I can find is adding these two lines to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

insmod aic7xxx
insmod st

But it would be nice if the driver is loaded at the start, while the hardware is being probed.

There are a number of HOWTOs that explain how to do this in SME5.x, but the contents of /etc/modules.conf (the file that needs editing) seems to be different under SME6, and the documented changes don't seem to work when I tried them.

Thanks,

Jason, did you ever get this figured out?

I would like to install a 2940 SCSI card to attach to a DLT tape drive...

Any ideas?
