Hardware removal

[mcmanusj]

I recently had a hard drive crash and decided to change from SCSI to IDE. I rebuilt the system using Fedora Core 2, but left the Adaptec 29160N card in by mistake. With the SCSI card in, the system boots without a problem and everything is great. If I remove the SCSI card, the system hangs at Checking for new hardware. I tried disabling kudzu and now it hangs at Bringing up interface eth0. What can I do to remove the SCSI card. It's no longer needed.

I removed the entries with regard to /etc/sysconfig/hwconf/Adaptec...
I then shut down, removed the card and booted back up. After I have selected the only entry in menu.lst, it says that there was an error loading aic7xxx. Any idea's on where this is coming from? I thought hwconf is what was read by kudzu when booting. I went as far as blanking the entire file, but the system still hangs on Checking for new hardware. I put the 29160N card back in and it boots without an issue.

modprobe -r didn't work, neither did rmmod. I looked in /etc/modprobe.conf and there is no mention of aic7xxx. However, when I do a modprobe -c it shows up. Put the card back in and it boots fine. I don't have time to deal with this right now, so rebuilding we shall go without the @#$%ing SCSI card in.
Again, thanks for all of your help on this. Oh wait a minute, no one provided any feedback. Thanks. Time for a new forum :mad: :mad:

No help here, but I'm curious if you had to compile a custom kernel to get scsi support as was mentioned in the thread:

Or is that info out of date?
