Autoload ide-scsi module
I have a Quantum Travan IDE Tape Drive. I have installed and it shows up under hardware browser.
I can't seem to get it to work. I read that I may need to load the ide-scsi module.
How can I set this to autoload at boot?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
I think you can also add this to your grub.conf file, for example;
title Fedora Core (2.6.16-1.2111_FC4)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.211 1_FC4 hda=ide-scsi ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.16-1.2111 _FC4.img
where I had a CDRW drive setup as /dev/hda on my system. Though I've not used ravenpl's method for this sort of this, if it works it would be more flexible and easier to sort out if you get a problem, I think if you updated the kernel you may loose the grub setup as above.
