The context was trying to restore a system in an automated fashion,
following your suggestion (a few months ago) to try adding a few
commands to the ks.cfg file on a reinstallation floppy. Run a tape
backup, create a reinstall floppy, edit the ks.cfg file on that
floppy, then drop in a new hdd and boot from the floppy. The
installer detects the SCSI card (an Adaptec 2940UW) just fine, says
it's loading the driver for the card, and installs everything from
the 5.5b9 CD. When it gets to the post-install configuration, the
errors I posted previously come up on one of the virtual consoles.
The commands I'd added at the bottom of ks.cfg were:
mknod /dev/nst0 c 9 128
cd /
/bin/mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
/bin/mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf 1
/usr/bin/flexbackup -extract
/bin/mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-restore
I could add a modprobe, I guess, but it sounds like that module
should already be loaded. Any other ideas of things to try? Thanks
for the info!
