I agree with the above advice but we have a number oof machines with
scsi controllers and no scsi drive attached. All we see is a boot
message about the existance of the controller and the system goes
on. And in these machines we have the scsi line in the modules.conf
file. Maybe something ese is different but I don't know what it
would be.
