For fun I tried it at home (normally both my systems run 2.6, and it does
NOT give that error msg) and indeed, the msgs about scsi_hostadapter still
appeared (by kmod, the kernel module loader), so the alias doesn't work.

Here's my modules.conf from home, by the way:
alias net-pf-3 off # no ax25 module available (yet)
alias net-pf-4 off # we won't use IPX
alias net-pf-5 off # nor AppleTalk
alias net-pf-6 off # or netrom either
alias scsi_hostadapter off
#alias lpt parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
#below ppa lpt # ZIP through parallel port
below st aic7xxx # SCSI tape through aic7xxx
alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371

> But it still displays that message! Any other ideas?


No, you probably will have to live with it, OR build the scsi
support as modules too, so that it only gets pulled in when needed.
The standard Slackware kernel has got it built-in, but not the
host adapters (that's only in the various .s kernels).
