Re: [PLUG] AIC-7869

If you are using scsi drives as your boot drives the scsi driver cannot 
be compiled as a module.  The same as your root file system cannot be a 
module.

AFIK most distribution kernels do not come with scsi compiled within 
their default kernel, since most people do not want to pay for scsi 
equipment and most prebuilt systems just have IDE.
