Yeah, you're pretty well on the right track. Try running modprobe initio
as root. Then run dmesg to see if it reports success. Should see something similar to:
# modprobe -v initio insmod /lib/modules/2.6.9-11.EL/kernel/drivers/scsi/initio.ko
#dmesg i91u: Reset SCSI Bus ... scsi0 : Initio INI-9X00U/UW SCSI device driver; Revision: 1.04a Vendor: BNCHMARK Model: DLT1 Rev: 5E40 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 2, lun 0 st0: try direct i/o: yes (alignment 512 B), max page reachable by HBA 1048575
So. That seems to have worked. What is the precise line to put into /etc/modprobe? Should it go at the start or the end of the file or does it much matter?
Doesn't matter where, but
alias scsi_hostadapter initio
should do it.
