Hi All,

Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong while trying to get a scsi module to
autoload.

The scene:
Pent Clone, RH6.0 basic install, Kern 2.2
OS loaded on IDE hd
BusLogic Flashpoint SCSI controller
HP DDS2 SCSI Dat

At boot, the BusLogic module does not load.
depmod -a has been run.
kerneld is running.
conf.modules contains:
alias scsi_hostadapter BusLogic
(but nothing else referring to scsi or BusLogic)

running "mt /dev/st0" complains that /dev/st0 doesn't exist.

insmod/modprobe loads the BusLogic module without a problem and the tape drive
works great after that. dmesg shows the tape drive as st0. mt runs ok after the
module is loaded.

I know I can add modprobe to rc.local, the question is: Why doesn't the BusLogic
module autoload when I access /dev/st0? What is the trick to getting the module to
autoload?

Keith
