Thanks for testing! I know about the ide-scsi and OSS issues, but this
version still has to support 2.4 kernels, so those stay in. You can
always have discover skip those by adding a skip= line to
/etc/discover.conf. Neither of these issues is crippling though, since
(as far as my testing is concerned) lots of userland apps still rely on
ide-scsi. And OSS still works just fine in 2.6, deprecated or not.

Ok, that's a good idea. I'll see about trying that out, since I have
usb-ohci listed twice as well on my system. Still, I'm glad to hear that
it worked for you overall. I don't know how much tweaking of discover1
will be worthwhile, since we'll be moving to discover2 at some point
anyhow, but a little polish can't hurt :-)
