Hm. I DO have stuff in my linuxrc version which attempts to insmod the |
| 12 |
different scsi modules. In fact, it does load the BusLogic SCSI module |
| 13 |
successfully. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Nevertheless, there is no device in /dev for this. Is there more to it |
| 16 |
than just loading the module? |

You mention above that udev is started AFTER the modules are loaded: is |
| 20 |
this correct? It seems to me like it would make more sense for udev to |
| 21 |
start before anything is loaded, so it can be notified when things get |
| 22 |
loaded and set up the right stuff in /dev. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I start udev right at the beginning of linuxrc, before any SCSI modules |
| 25 |
are loaded... is this a problem? |
