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.

motherboard with an on board AIC-7869 SCSI controller.
