You are wanting to use a scsci driver, yes? Perhaps someone else could get
in and address/confirm this?..I believe that a scsi parameter must be passed
to the kernel via the append= entry (in lilo.conf) besides adding an alias
to modules.conf. I would assume that since simply adding the

and if it works fine what's the harm?
Nice argument :(
The correct way to do this, is to add the name of the module to
/etc/modules in Mandrake. This file will be parsed at startup, and
every module mentioned there will be auto loaded.

Say what? I mean simply add the statement insmod your desired module to
rc.local, right at the top before everything else. You could also go with
modprobe your desired module too.

The only thing that should be in the rc scripts is depmod, which figures
out the module dependencies. If the module is not loaded on boot, it
should load when the requests it. This may be the problem -- the module
itself may not be showing up in an lsmod.
Shows up fine as shown when lsmod.
