Not fixed in beta3
Comment 3 Michael K. Johnson 2002-03-28 16:49:46 UTC 
Something in user space, I think mkinitrd, is opening a scsi device that
doesn't (yet) exist, and kmod is trying to load the scsi host adapter.  I
do not know what scsi device is being accessed, but in any case this is
not a kernel bug.  The kernel is doing the right thing as far as I can tell.
