sd_mod module not autoloading on RH 7.1

sd_mod module not autoloading on RH 7.1

Post by Nicolas Anquet » Thu, 18 Oct 2001 19:34:32



Hi,

I am trying to get my Zip drive to mount smoothly on a RH 7.1 box.
Used to work fine with RH 6.2, but now I have a small problem: I need to
enter (as root) : `modprobe sd_mod' manually to get the `mount /mnt/zip' to
work.

/etc/modules.conf is:

# --------------------
# SCSI modules for ZIP-drive
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias block-major-8 ppa
pre-install ppa modprobe parport
post-install ppa modprobe sd_mod

# --------------------
# modules for CD-burner
options ide-cd ignore=hdb               # tell the ide-cd module to ignore hdb
alias scd0 sr_mod                       # load ide-scsi upon access of scd0
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi    # load ide-scsi before sr_mod
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd    # load ide-cd   before ide-scsi

Note: ppa is loaded automatically but not sd_mod.
I tried another combination as:
  alias block-major-8 sd_mod
  pre-install sd_mod modprobe ppa
But did not work either.  Somebody knows what's wrong?

Thanks

nicolas
