Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] FATAL: Loading ATA modules

I am using the latest kadischi to build a LiveCD on FC6. When booting
the kernel, the LiveCD reports errors as follows:
Loading ATA modules
FATAL: Module ata_generic not found
FATAL: Module pata_ali not found

And about 30 other PATA modules.
The error seems benign as it finishes booting successfully. Is there a
way to get rid of these error messages?
Starting with Fedora 7, these ATA modules are needed to drive important
motherboard ATA chipsets.
Fedora Core 6 doesn't require this, and the modules of course do not
exist in Fedora Core 6 kernels either.
To get rid of the messages, just edit your
kadischi/linuxrc/livecd-linuxrc file from a CVS checkout
and remove the ATA module loading section.
If you have Kadischi already compiled and installed, edit your
/usr/share/kadischi/initrd/livecd-linuxrc
script and remove the same ATA module loading section. If you did not
pass any prefix to autogen.sh
and compiled straight from CVS, your installation will be in
/usr/local/share/kadischi/ otherwise the
previously mentioned paths should work for you.
Since this is more of a cosmetic issue, I did not put any script-fu into
the NASH script to only load
the modules if they exist, I do not expect it to change from Fedora 7 to
Fedora 8 so they simply
do not exist, and of course do not get loaded for Fedora Core 6.
