Hi All,

  Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong while trying to get a scsi module to
autoload.

The scene:
  Pent Clone, RH6.0 basic install, Kern 2.2
  OS loaded on IDE hd
  BusLogic Flashpoint SCSI controller
  HP DDS2 SCSI Dat 
  
  At boot, the BusLogic module does not load.
  depmod -a has been run.
  kerneld is running.
  conf.modules contains:
    alias scsi_hostadapter BusLogic
    (but nothing else referring to scsi or BusLogic)

  running "mt /dev/st0" complains that /dev/st0 doesn't exist.

  insmod/modprobe loads the BusLogic module without a problem and the tape drive
works great after that.  dmesg shows the tape drive as st0.  mt runs ok after the
module is loaded.

  I know I can add modprobe to rc.local, the question is: Why doesn't the BusLogic
module autoload when I access /dev/st0?  What is the trick to getting the module to
autoload? 

Keith
