    Boot error message

    Please, I need help with the following:

    after pressing enter on boot there's the tux image, followed by the next error message:

    kmod: failed to exec sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2

    Then, after recognizing the HW, the screen goes blank. By pressing ctrl-alt-F1 the last thing on screen is :

    modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module Char-major-116 (several times) and modprobe: (etc) ... sound-slot-0 and modprobe: (etc) ...sound-service-0-0

    When I use the "screen=1024x728 vrefresh=60" and "noapci" cheatcode it works, but the first error message (kmod....) always appears.

    Any hint?

    My PC: AMD Athlon 1Ghz, 128Mb Ram

    Thanks in advance!

    modprobe is a linux program that loads kernel modules (a.k.a. drivers) and in this case it tries to load a driver for some scsi hostadapter, and if you don't have one, it fails to load that driver. That's perfectly ok!
