Where in rc does scsi_hostadapter get loaded?

Hi all -

Looking at my dmesg, kmod is trying to modprobe scsi_hostadapter, and it doesn't work, which is not surprising, as I don't have SCSI. Which rc file calls that? (It's not rc.modules).

Thanks,

Jim

On Fedora, scsi_hostadapter is defined in /etc/modules.conf.

Are you sure??

# *** THIS IS STILL LOADED BY DEFAULT ***
# SCSI emulation support.

/sbin/modprobe ide-scsi

modprobe ide-scsi != modprobe scsi_hostadapter, right?

I probably don't need ide-scsi, though.

Commenting-out those lines in /etc/rc.modules doesn't stop probing for the scsi_hostadapter.
I get the same error in dmesg, and my /etc/rc.modules looks as follows

Code:

#if cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease | cut -f 1,2 -d . | grep -w 2.4 1> /dev/null 
2> /dev/null ; then
#  /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi
#fi

I had the same problem. Since you do not have SCSI drives, the only reason you (probably) would need a SCSI adapter is for USB mass storage. I alleviated this problem and got my USB pen drive working by adding this line to my modules.conf:

alias scsi_hostadapter usb-storage

Looking at my dmesg errors, I also added

alias block-major-8 usb-storage

This worked great for me.
