So, I've set up a number of modules, including ALSA (built from source,
not the deb package), etc. so I understand the structure of
/etc/modutils and update-modules, etc.
I have an old Adaptec 1522 SCSI card in my system that's just used to
drive my old SyQuest EZDrive. I can't figure out how to configure it to
load the aha152x module for me automatically.
I have this in my /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /sydos vfat noauto,user 0 0
When I try "mount /sydos", I get:
mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/sda1 as a block device
(maybe `insmod driver'?)
If I insmod the module by hand, it works.
I'm missing the magic needed to connect the sda1 device with the aha152x
driver. Is there some char alias I have to set or something? For my
ethernet card I used:
alias eth0 modulename
Do I just need an "alias sda aha152x" or something? Do you just alias
a device like that? Is there some documentation somewhere discussing
this? Similarly, I decided to try using the 2.2.17 builtin support for
the SB Live! emu10k1 rather than Alsa as I was using before; I had all
the alsa stuff set up in modutils perfectly. Does anyone have an
example of this for the 2.2.17 kernel emu10k1 module?
Also in modutils/scsi I have this:
options aha152x aha152x=0x340,9
These parameters are required but if I just use "insmod aha152x" they
don't get used; I have to add them explicitly. I'm assuming that if the
kernel loads that module for me automatically it'll see those options in
modules.conf?
Thx.
