OK, thank you very much - I have learned a lot!
But how does this program /sbin/new-kernel-pkg know
_which_ scsi driver to install?
In my case, at least, it seems to make the wrong choice.
It should include any module listed as a scsi_hostadapter
in /etc/modprobe.conf and any dependencies of those modules.
