Maybe your problem is as simple as having the relevant scsi module
compiled in the kernel.

This means of course you should recompile the kernel in order to have
the module as part o the kernel.

I recall a similar problem with RedHat that if the module were not in
the initrd archive (similar to our root.lrp), scsi boot was not possible.

Hope this sheds some light to your problem.

p.s. maybe someone on the list could compile a costum kernel for you...

Subject: [Leaf-user] HD Booting with SCSI disk mod loading problem


Evenin All,

I have a chicken/egg problem.

I am following the HD install advanced section, and have included the
code into the spot above the boot line option.  I can get the modules
loaded by running the script manually once I am booted into the env.

However, here is the problem.  That script relies on /sbin/insmod being
loaded before it is run (obviously).  Insmod is loaded in the
modules.lrp package, which can't be loaded because the HD isn't mounted
yet because it needs the SCSI modules loaded which can't be loaded
because the package they're in comes later.....see the problem I am
having?

Can I move insmod into a different package that gets loaded first?  What
will that break?  Has this been discussed before and I am just dense?  I
assume moving it would include editing the modules.list and the other
package.list file to include the directory in backups....right?

Thanks a bunch,

Tony
