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!
