Hi, I just installed a debian system on a machine that stores data on a hardware raid 3ware 7806-5 and another system that uses an adaptec 2400a. both are ata hardware raid devices. During bootup, the boot halts while going through /etc/rcS.d/ when it runs S30checkfs.sh because the kernel module (either 3w-xxxx or the one for adaptec) is not loaded and it cant run fsck.ext3 on /dev/sda1. I cant just run S36discover earlier, because at that point in the boot the file system /lib/modules/2.6.9-1-386 is not mounted and it cant find the module. I have a workaround of leaving /dev/sda1 out of /etc/fstab, and mounting manually later in the /etc/rc2.d, but that is not elegant :). I could compile the kernel to have the 3w-xxxx in the kernel, but it is much easier for me to use stock debian kernels. I see that a similar issue is addressed for software raid by having a script /etc/rcS.d/S24raid2 for the software raid earlier in the boot process. Is there a simple solution for me : perhaps i copy the 3w-xxxx module itself to the /boot directory and create a script to run insmod /boot/3w-xxxx earlier in the boot process? Thanks, Mitchell I notice that
