alias scsi_hostadapter qla2300
alias scsi_hostadapter1 qla2300_conf
^^
change "scsi_hostadapter" to "scsi_hostadapter1" on the line that has qla2300_conf.
mkinitrd is a shell script that looks for aliases "scsi_hostadapter*" and includes them in initrd image.
grep -i scsi_hostadapter /sbin/mkinitrd:
scsimodules=`grep "alias[[:space:]]scsi_hostadapter" $modulefile | grep -v '^[ ]*#' | LC_ALL=C sort -u | awk '{ print $3 }'`
note the command "sort -u" in the above line, it sorts and gets unique (-u: unique) scsi_adapters.
Change the modules.conf and try again.
Cheers,
Raj
