I'm pretty sure this is passed to anaconda during installation, not to
the kernel, thus it's of no value during normal boot.

Controlling the order of SCSI/FC module loading by ordering them in
modules.conf is quite trivial once the system is installed. For example
the following entries would load the QLA2300 FC module first and then
the module for the local RAID controller:
alias scsi_hostadapter qla2300
alias scsi_hostadapter1 aacraid
While the following example would do the opposite:
alias scsi_hostadapter aacraid
alias scsi_hostadapter1 qla2300
Of course, since SCSI/FC modules are loaded from initrd, you must
rebuild your initrd once you make changes to the order in modules.conf.
I will admidt that, if you pass latefcload to anaconda during install
time, it should probably setup your modules.conf files with a equivalent
configuration, and not doing so might be considered a bug.
Later,
Tom
