The two modules are clear: Sda is a blockdevice on SCSI, so we mknod /dev/sda and
we load the SCSI disk driver, which requires scsi_mod.
But the SCSI host0 claims it's managed directly by the platform, without any controller
to manage the bus, so yaird sees no reason to load any SCSI/PCI modules.
Solution: if the SCSI bus is managed by a controller that needs a driver,
make sure the driver that manages the controller makes itself visible in /sys.
Workaround: in /etc/yaird/Default.cfg, before MOUNTDIR, use the keyword 'MODULE'
to load whatever modules your system needs.
I see no manageable way to detect and repair this kind of misleading /sys directory
automatically in a standard yaird distribution.
Regards,
Erik
