I used a quick 'n dirty version. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
In the file /usr/src/<kernel version>/drivers/scsi/Makefile i moved the line |
| 21 |
with SATA_VIA entry before the one with SATA_PROMISE. |
| 22 |
Now the sequence is in the way i wanted to have. |

Disadvantage: Not portable. Have to be redone wit next kernel version. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Suggestion: The kernel should have a possibility to rearrange the execution |
| 27 |
sequence of the kernel-builtin drivers. |
