In RH6.1 /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit:
# If a SCSI tape has been detected, load the st module unconditionally
# since many SCSI tapes don't deal well with st being loaded and unloaded
if [ -f /proc/scsi/scsi ] && grep -q 'Type: Sequential-Access' /proc/scsi/scsi 2>/dev/null ; then
if grep -qv ' 9 st' /proc/devices ; then
if [ -n "$USEMODULES" ] ; then
# Try to load the module. If it fails, ignore it...
insmod -p st >/dev/null 2>&1 && modprobe st >/dev/null 2>&1
This worked on 2.2 with aic7xxx as a scsi module. It's not working
anymore with 2.3.51. /proc/scsi/scsi doesn't exist until the aic7xxx
is loaded.
I *think* I've diagnosed this correctly (please don't beat me up if
I'm wrong). I *think* that under 2.2 it was not necessary to load
aic7xxx first, but under 2.3.51 it is. Otherwise, I can't find any
place where the startup scripts were loading the aic7xxx module.
So if my diagnosis is correct, anyone want to suggest a good fix?
