Hi. I installed RH6.1 from a CD burned from the ISO image downloaded from your site a week or so ago. The original build only had an AIC7895 SCSI Controller (Tyan Thuder Dual, with 440LX chipset). I later installed a DPT PM3334UW (I was having trouble with an external chain off the Adaptec, which I must say has been no end of trouble to me...). What happened was that while kudzu properly identified the new device as a DPT controller, its pci mapping table specifies the wrong driver; it lists "dpt", when there is no module called "dpt". The proper entry should be "eata". Once I changed that, kudzu worked properly. The other problem I had was that, since your setup by default loads the SCSI driver modules in the initrd, and since when a new controller is added the initrd isn't updated, kudzu had trouble with the drives attached to the controller. If I ran kudzu by hand and then rebooted, kudzu would be happy about the DPT controller (as long as I had fixed the pcitable), but it would tell me that the drives had been removed from the system. Once I edited the initrd to autoload the eata driver as well as the AIC driver, everything was fine and dandy. So, I think that the things that need to be fixed are (a) the pcitable, and (b), ultimately I think that if kudzu identifies a new SCSI controller you should be providing a facility to automatically update the initrd (assuming that you are trying to avoid the need for people to compile new kernels.). Following is a link to a thread on Deja.com, where I reported this problem in case others experience the same thing; there's a little more detail in there: http://www.deja.com/viewthread.xp?AN=541265448 Thanks, --Bob Drzyzgula bob ------- Additional Comments From 10/28/99 10:43 ------- (Note that I also sent this to bugs, and came to file it here because of the "deprecated" autoresponse from the former address...) --Bob
The pci id mapping problem is fixed in the latest kudzu in Raw Hide. The second one is something we definitely need to work on clearing up...

notting, do we update the initrd correctly now?
No, mkinitrd is not re-run...
Closing out bugs from older, no longer supported releases. Apologies for the lack of response.
