kernel-2..6.17-1.2174_FC5 will not start; unknown scsi parameter on SATA laptop

[Paul Johnson]

I never rebuild initrd before.  II gather that this is something the
kernel rpm install script does and since I fiddled modprobe.conf
afterword, I broke an unproken promise to the kernel.

I hope this syntax was correct, because I'm about to reboot.

[root at pols125 pauljohn]# /sbin/new-kernel-pkg -v --mkinitrd --depmod
--install 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp

initrdfile is /boot/initrd-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp.img
running depmod for 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp
creating initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp.img using 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp
found /boot/initrd-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp.img and using it with grubby
adding 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp to /boot/grub/grub.conf
/etc/lilo.conf does not exist, not running grubby
