Re: help installing a SCSI card on RH6

[Eric Larson <rlarson monmouth com>]

Try adding the following line to conf.modules:

alias scsi_hostadapter advansys

Any devices correctly attached to the adapter should be 
recognized automatically.

If the card is already in your machine, perhaps 

modprobe advansys 

will save you the trouble of rebooting.
