All, I'm an old hand to UNIX as well as Linux, but after not updating my system for 6+ years have now replaced my old hardware with new and grabbed a Mandrake 8.1 to go with. Most things are working OK, but one issue I'm having is that loading of scsi modules is somewhat spotty. After manually loading the scsi-mod it's now automatically loading on boot, but that's not happening with the advansys module - I have had to place a line in /etc/rc.local to load it, and even that's not reliable. Before I replace that line with (sleep 10; insmod advansys) & tell me where I'm going wrong, please.
Once that's solved I'll pester folks to help me understand why device permissions and owners keep changing on boot as well, and how to pin 'em down. -- Russ
