Back On RHEL ES, with kernel-unsupported rpm installed, I use a firewire harddisk for backup.
When I reboot, the disk is not accessible: # mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/max1 mount: /dev/sdd1 is not a valid block device
I need to load the modules manually: # modprobe ohci1394 # modprobe ieee1394
then I need to run a scsi-bus rescan script: # /users/contrib/rescan-scsi-bus.sh
Now the mount succeeds.
Question: Why is the disk on ieee1394 not recognized automatically at boot time? What can I configure so that this happens, and the necessary kernel modules are loaded automatically?
