OK, I might be going crazy, but didn't mkinitrd use to include the modules and dependencies aliased as scsi_host_adapter in /etc/modprobe.conf?<BR>
<BR>
I've got a USB hard drive that I use as part of my home directories, that need to be fsck'ed and mounted at boot.<BR>
<BR>
I thought I fixed this by adding the following lines to /etc/modprobe.conf:<BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<TT>alias scsi_hostadapter ehci_hcd</TT><BR>
<TT>alias scsi_hostadapter sd_mod</TT><BR>
<TT>alias scsi_hostadapter usb_storage</TT><BR>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BR>
The disk is mounted as (/etc/fstab):<BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<TT> LABEL=storage /media/storage ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1</TT><BR>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BR>
I fiddled with this for a while earlier in testing, and I thought that these mod's would cause new kernel installs to run mkinitrd and include the appropriate modules so that these drives would be available as soon as udev loads (like it does for the root drive).<BR>
<BR>
I've kind of glossed over the MAKEDEV traffic on the list because I thought it didn't pertain to me. Could this be a part of that craziness?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
Dave.<BR>

PS - This is the output of: mkinitrd -v -f initrd-2.6.15-1.1884_FC5smp.img 2.6.15-1.1884_FC5smp<BR>
