If that's what you were betting, you would have been wrong.  It still
tries to load the old stuff, and I still have to load the advansys
module by hand.

So what else do I need to do?  I really want it to forget that there
ever was an eth1 interface and a ncr53c8xx SCSI card.  And to remember
that there is now an advansys card that it needs the module for.  How
do I tell it that?  Or how do I tell HardDrake or DrakeConf to tell it
that?

This actually did happen.  That is, on bootup, it did probe the scsi
card and configure the scanner for me.  Which it hasn't done before
since I put the new card in.
