Obvious next question: If block-major-8 is SCSI disks (easily confirmed with a simple `ls -l /dev/sda`) and SCSI disk support is built into the kernel, why is it looking for a module in the first place? > If you wanted to check exactly which one you could grep block-major-8 > from /etc/modules.conf, and you can see what it's aliased to. `grep -r block-major *` in /etc turns up some architecture-specific aliases for block-major-2 and block-major-28 under m68k and powerpc, but no mention of block-major-8. (And if you say that this is why SCSI disk support doesn't work, my next question will be, "Then why does IDE disk support work without an alias for block-major-3?") -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Tom Swiss
