I'm new with Linux so please be nice...
I'm running Linux 8.0 and have a QLogic 2340 fiber controller configured for modular use only. It is configured properly and works just fine. The problem that I have is that the driver does not load at boot time. I need to run 'modprobe qla2300' in order to get it loaded. The instructions that I followed to set this up came from QLogic and seem to be accurate however after modifying the /etc/modules.conf file to add the 'alias scsi_hostadapter qla2300' statement they have you run 'mkinitrd initrd-2.4.20-18.8.img 2.4.20-18.8' to create a new ram disk. It is my understanding that this ramdisk then loads the drivers at boot time. They then say to reboot the machine. I do this and the driver is not loaded. I use the 'lsmod' command to verify it. If I then run the 'modprobe qla2300' it loads and the drives are available until I reboot. Can anyone give me a suggestion as to how I can get the drivers to load automatically at boot time?
Thanks
