Dear All Sorry for posting this again but my isp seems to have deleted all my mail between Friday and today (Wednesday) :-( Thanks for the responses. I checked my modules.conf and the following line is in there. alias scsi_hostadaptor AM53C974 This (I presume is the name of the module I load when I "insmod AM53C974.o". However it still doesn't load automatically. One thing I do notice is that the file AM53C974 is in the directory /lib/modules/2.2.5-15/scsi and unless I actually cd to this directory I can't insmod the module. Do I need to set up some form of pathh to be able to automatically load this module? Any suggestions?
