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.

You can also mount the initrd image using option "-oloop " and then check if the qla2300.o is in it.
