Description of problem: usb_storage module loads before sata_sil module would it be possible to change the order of installed modules? I have two SATA internal drives and ks.cfg file on a USB/compactflash card. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): x86_64 FC4 test 2 ISO cd1 NB: the md5sum of this media appears to be incorrect - have tried 3 times from 3 different URLs. How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set BIOS to boot from CD 2. Insert CD (x86_64 ISO 1) 3. Insert CompactFlash Card with ks.cfg 4. linux ks=hd:sdc1/ks/ks.cfg Actual results: Unable to find ks.cfg from /dev/sdc1 (compact flash card) CompactFlash Drive (usb_storage) becomes /dev/sda1 SATA disks (sata_sil) become sdc and sdd No sign of sdb - ALT-F2, bash shell, 'fdisk -l' Expected results: SATA disks (sata_sil) become sda and sdb - as with FC3 (but couldn't get LVM/RAID to work in ks.cfg). CompactFlash Drive (usb_storage) become /dev/sdc - as with FC3 Additional info: AMD Athlon 64 CPU 2 x internal SATA1 drives 1 x CDROM 1 x Floppy (IDE) / Media Card Reader (USB)
We have to load usb_storage early for cases where people don't probe or need a driver disk. This is why we then later do unloading to shuffle the module around.
