A remote colleague has a debian system that has been running fine with stock kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686; but, until now, *not* running any SCSI devices. Last night, he added a SCSI cdrom and tape drive to the system. He insists that the AIC-7980 controller lists the devices during post. dmesg does *not* show the controller; nor does scsi_devfs_scan. I have a system with similar scsi devices; but, different kernel: # cat /proc/modules | grep -i scsi ide-scsi 10480 0 ide-mod 98808 1 [ide-cd ide-probe-mod ide-scsi] scsi_mod 94848 4 (autoclean) [st ide-scsi sd_mod aic7xxx] His shows this: # cat /proc/modules | grep -i scsi scsi_mod 84952 1 (autoclean) [sr_mod] Neither system has any aic7xxx listed in: /etc/modules /etc/modules.conf I have built systems with scsi support from ground zero; but, I have not added scsi to a non-scsi system. What are we missing? -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 877.596.8237 - Dare to fix things before they break . . . - Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we think we know.
