iirc, that makes mptctl load *before* mptscsih though, which may have undesired side effects (like mptctl not working). What you may actually want is: install mptscsih /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install mptscsih; /sbin/modprobe mptctl -- Jarod Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
