Description giulioo 2000-08-18 16:11:08 UTC
Everytime I exit linuxconf I get

in /var/log/messages

I have no scsi devices:

Comment 1 Nalin Dahyabhai 2000-08-18 16:19:45 UTC
Work around: adding "alias block-major-8 off" to /etc/modules.conf should at
least keep these from appearing.

Comment 2 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2000-09-13 22:55:44 UTC
This should be fixed in the final release with the addition of LABEL=
support.
