In the future, when upgrading the kernel, will future initrd's be built with my current modules or will I have to manually create new initrd's after each update?
Good question that I would love to know as well. I thought /etc/ sysconfig/mkinitrd handled this, but not ripping apart the srpm of a new kernel, I don’t really know if it bothers doing making the initrd.
Last step of the kernel rpm install script is to generate an initrd file, so as long as your scsi_adapter order in your modprobe.conf is right your initrds should be right.
If you need a special adapter loaded before the SCSI adapters then there are preload options that can be set in /etc/sysconfig/initrd.
