AUTOINSTALL not set..

[John Wirt]

In booting, this message appears in the boot sequence:


    aic79xx (2.0.8) AUTOINSTALL not set in its dkms.conf


"aic79xx" is the name of the (Adaptec) SCSI host adapter driver.

Some configuration file is apparently missing or is not correct. 
Can/should I fix this? Linux apparently runs fine and I have detected no 
file read/saving problems.

I have 3 SCSI drives in my system but two of them are configured into a 
RAID 1 configuration that boots to XP. The third drive is separate and 
boots to Redhat Enterprise v.3. The boot manager is BOOTIT-NG.  This 
works fine.

Apparently, dkms is,

  "*dkms* is a framework which allows kernel modules to be dynamically 
built for each kernel on your system in a simplified and organized fashion."

The Linux installation I am running was originally configured to run two 
of the SCSI drives but I reconfigured it to run one of the drives by 
editing fstab, as I recall.
