Changing the load order of modprobe
 

Hi

In /etc/modprobe.conf, I have

alias host_adapter sata_sil
...
alias host_adapter1 aacraid

As you can see, there are 2 scsi controllers being loaded. I have only added the aacraid recently, so before that, I had these mappings:

SATA HD1 - /dev/sda
SATA HD2 - /dev/sdb

After getting aacraid installed, I now have

SCSI HD1 - /dev/sda
SATA HD1 - /dev/sdb
SATA HD2 - /dev/sdc

Because the SCSI is now /dev/sda, I cannot boot into linux anymore. I need to make the SCSI HD appear as /dev/sdc, but it always gets loaded first by the kernel. Any ideas?

There must be a way to tell the kearnel to load sata_sil before aacraid...

run linuxconf and see if you can make changes there?

Hi shazam75

Thank you for your suggestion. I actually figured it out, I forgot to compile the new bzImage after modifying the modprobe.conf.

All is well now.

Thanks
Keith

Glad you worked it out
 

I am a newbie - so I am very happy you worked that out - Linux is a box full of challenges, and the rewards are wonderful.

I would never have know to recomplie the bzImage.

Regards!
