- Kernel 2.6 Support
- ******************
-
- Discover 1.5 has only minimal support for kernel 2.6 (see below). As
- discover 2.0 is now in Debian (package discover), you're probably better
- off using this package if you run on 2.6.

- Kernel 2.6 Support in discover1
- *******************************
-
- The latest packages of discover support the 2.6 kernel, but unfortunately the
- support is not perfect by any means. Discover will try to load various modules
- that exist in 2.4 versions of the kernel which are either absent or deprecated
- from 2.6 kernels. The best way to work around this is to use
- /etc/discover.conf. For each module that you don't want to load, add a line
- that says "skip foo" where foo is the name of the module. Please see
- discover.conf(5) for details. I highly recommend doing this for ide-scsi, at
- the very least, which is deprecated in 2.6.
-
- Also, discover may not load all the modules you need, and you can list them in
- /etc/modules to be loaded at boot. Please see modules(5) for deatils on this.
- 2.6 will be better supported when discover in Debian is transitioned in to the
- discover2 version, but for now these workarounds should suffice.
