Problem with OMSA and hard drives

Tue Aug 21 05:09:33 CDT 2007

And.. dont forget 

/etc/initramfs-tools/modules
or 
/etc/mkinitrd/modules  

depend on what you use
add the needed modules in this file 
change in de .conf 
MODULES=list
saves also problems is usb-storage is detected ( in my case ) DRAC5
controller. 

And.. 

update-initramfs -u 
or 
mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r` `uname -r`

to make sure you dont forget your initrd ;-) 

Greetz, 

Louis
