3ware card work as module but not in kernel ??

[t_colar]

Hi, i have a 3ware escalade (7800) card in my gentoo box (latest gentoo kernel / dual p3)
I was able to have it to work fine after loading 3w-xxxx, sr_mod and sd_mod, however i want this to be mounted at boot and since modules are loaded after fstab is parsed, that doesn't work quite right.
So i wanted to have those compiled in the kernel instead of mosules (low level drivers like those are better as module anyway).
So i just changes 3ware and scsi support/emulation from modules to "compiled in kerne", this seem to have worked (i don't have those as modules anyway).
But strangely the card does not seem to be loaded/detected.
It doesn't show up in dmesg output either.
There is this error line in there though:
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2
i'm not sure if that's related.

Any ideas what's wrong here, suggestions ?

Thanks.
