modprobe -a? At boot up?<br>
<p>
Either you mean "depmod -a", which isn't necessary at bootup and is only<br>
done as a precaution in case you've rebuilt a modular kernel without<br>
reading the associated documentation... In which case NO, that doesn't<br>
take care of this at all, it just creates a dependency tree for later.<br>
<p>
Or you really do mean "modprobe -a", in which case this whole discussion<br>
was redundant because that loads ALL THE MODULES whether they are necessary<br>
or not, and the SCSI generic is already running. I doubt this is true,<br>
because it defeats half the point of a modular kernel.<br>
<p>
Regardless - Yes, just loading "sg.o" would likely work on most systems<br>
because SCSI core and SCSI mid are already loaded and running, but it<br>
is still best practise to always use "modprobe" unless you've a good<br>
reason not to do so.<br>
