Shouldn't HardDrake have done that for me?

The fact that I removed them from modules.conf.

I thought the point of modules was that you didn't have to rebuild the
kernel to load different ones?

I didn't build anything. I put in a new SCSI card, and wanted it to
load the module for the new one instead of the module for the old
one. On Mandrake 6.x, you achieved this by editing conf.modules to
load the new one instead of the old one. There's obviously something
different in Mandrake 8. It looks to me like a bug in HardDrake that
the configuration doesn't get saved.

The boot isn't managing to load the old stuff, because the hardware
isn't there any more, but it is definitely not loading the new stuff,
or I would have my SCSI hard drive when I boot.

Alexander> Hmm, maybe create a new initrd. See mkinitrd
I want to get this off before I try rebooting. I've run:
cd /boot
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.3.later 2.4.3-20mdk
rm initrd.img
ln -s initrd-2.4.3.later initrd.img
So you're betting that it will now load the right stuff? Or do I
still have to do something with the map files Jose alludes to?
Even better would be if after loading the advansys module, it detected
all the devices connected to it and configured them, but that might be
another message.
