RE: How do I remove a module from the kernel
If they are scsi drivers, just do mkinitrd: mkinitrd -v -f /path/to/initrd.img `uname -r` If you you are trying to load some other kind of driver do: mkinitrd -v -f /path/to/initrd.img --with=module name `uname -r` -Steve -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 8:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How do I remove a module from the kernel Thx Dave..I guess that worked...Now the kernel is loading without this driver...

You need to do mkinitrd to rebuild your initrd. It reads the information from your /etc/modules.conf and adds the scsi ones to your initrd so they get loaded at boot time.
