modprobe in FC-2


I recently had to install the advansys scsi card module in fc-2 so that I could continue to access my scsi dat tape. Everything installed fine and works, but I need to manually execute modprobe advansys after every boot to load the module. As you can likely tell, I'm a realtive lightweight when it comes to linux and I was wondering where I add the modprobe command so that the module is loaded with every boot. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Try adding this in your /etc/modprobe.conf:
'alias scsi_hostadapter advansys' (without the quotes).

If that doesn't work, edit '/etc/rc.local' and add your modprobe line.

Keep in mind the correct way is to have the proper settings in modprobe.conf.

I've never seen fglrx and nvidia-agp, what are they? What does loading agpgart accomplish.

btw, using the nvidia.com driver, I use 'alias char-major-195* nvidia'

fglrx is the ATI Video Card driver module and nvidia-agp is the module for nforce 2 boards. loading agpgart is the other module i need loaded to make my drivers work. all three of these are required to get 3D acceleration working on an ATI Video Card on an nForce 2 motherboard.

thanks,

Had a similar problem recently setting up a SCSI DAT tape drive on RH Enterprise 3. Don't know if this applies for Fedora also, but here was the solution from Red Hat:

modprobe st
modprob aic7xxx (replace with module name for your scsi controller)
cd /boot
make a copy of the initrd....img file that matches the name of the kernel you boot to.
run the following command: mkinitrd -f initrd...img `uname -r`
