Topic: Adding a SCSI card on 6.0

[ddougan]

I added a SCSI card and tape drive to a client's server today. I've successfully loaded the aic7xxx driver manually; I also created (copied from another server) a 10ScsiHostAdapter modules.conf template fragment, identifying the aic7xxx driver. However, the ide-scsi driver is still being loaded, and the aic7xxx not.

I've found Darrell May's how-to on this topic, but it seems to be for versions older than 6.0, where modules.conf is now templated.

There must be another config file I've missed - can anyone help?

Thanks,

I had this problem before, what you need to do is create a boot floppy (images\boot.img on the CD.), Then create another floppy with the images\drvblock.img file. Boot with the bootable floppy and install the driver from the drvblock floopy. That should take care of the scsi driver.

I'm not sure if we're on the same wavelength - I can load the card OK from the command line - it just isn't being loaded from a system restart even though I have an entry in modules.conf for it.

Des, did you every figure out how to auto mount the added scsi card?

Anyone else?

[ddougan]

To get round the problem, I added the command to rc.local.

Thanks Des,

What command?

insmod aic7xxx
insmod st

Or something else?
