I am using the QLogic drivers (on Red Hat EL/AS 4) downloaded from the QLogic site that are appropriate for my QLogic cards. I'm using IBM LTO4's in a Qualstar XLS library. Yes, I had to modify the stinit.def file to include LTO4 and I have to modify the /etc/init.d/networker script (or write one of my own that runs ahead of it) so the stinit command is run before networker starts controlling the drive.

Wouldn't putting something like:

post-install st /sbin/stinit

in the /etc/modules.conf file solve that problem? Assuming you have a '/etc/stinit.def' file in place, I would think it would run stinit against it before NW is started. That's how we do it, anyway. I have that line listed last in modules.conf with no special entries in the NW startup script itself. Also, the startup numbers for the NW scripts were kept as installed:
