That's not what he said. The SCSI modules are not included in the initrd 
image *by default*. If you install Fedora on a SCSI machine, anaconda 
should detect this and include the necessary drivers in the initrd. It 
will also add a scsi_hostadapter line to /etc/modprobe.conf, which will 
cause any subsequent mkinitrd runs to include the needed modules too.
