Civileme,
Are you saying that:
alias block-major-11 ide-scsi
post-install modprobe ide-scsi [note the correct spelling of
post-install <g>]
in /etc/conf.modules can effectively replace my suggested
modprobe ide-scsi
modprobe sg
in /etc/rc.d/rc.local?
I suspect one still needs the lilo.conf append to indicate
which ide interface is to be treated as scsi emulation.
Then there arises the question of shifting the modprobes for all
those ipchains masquerading filters to invoke from
/etc/conf.modules. How would that be done?
