I got it, I had to add 'aic7xxx' to my /etc/modules. Regards, Ran Hooper [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get paid while I'm on the Internet, Do you? http://www.how2surf4cash.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ran Hooper Sent: Saturday, November 18, 2000 4:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [expert] Adding a disk, insmod placement, moving /var About adding that scsi adapter: insmod aic7xxx and modprobe aic7xxx works fine. I get an error message when I run modprobe that says 'Note: conf.modules is more recent than modules.dep' but if I follow modprobe with the aic7xxx it loads fine. What am I doing wrong here? I added line 4 to my conf.modules and it never loads. What am I missing here? I tried renaming my conf.modules to modules.conf with no results. I get the feeling that my bootup process isn't even trying to load modules, although there is a line in there about adding my ethernet card and that works well enough. So, what I want to accomplish is almost there, how do I finish it? I can't just insmod it since I want to move /var to one of the new drives :( >>I would do it a little different, but your approach wasn't wrong though. >> 1) turn off computer >> 2) install hardware >> 3) turn on >> 4) add alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx to /etc/modules.conf >> 5) run cfdisk/fdisk to partition the drive >> 6) I'd choose reiserfs as the fs for the new drive, but that's up to you >> 7) mkreiserfs /dev/sda1 (or mke2fs /dev/sda1) >> 8) add /dev/sda1 /var reiserfs defaults 0 0 to /etc/fstab >> 9) mount (-t reiserfs) /dev/sda1 /mnt/newvar >>10) tar cfvsp - -C /var | tar xfvsp - -C /mnt/newvar >> (now you have a copy of /var in /mnt) >>11) mv /var /varold >>12) umount /mnv/newvar >>13) mount /var >>14) rm -rf /varold >>> 6) Run diskdrake, mount the drive, hopefully it takes care of fstab yes?
