Hi Serena, the initrd is a sort of mini linux system that boots to get the hardware recognized then hands things off to your systems own kernel. This means that if the initrd does not find the scsi drive, then it never gets to the point where your own kernel can be loaded and then load the scsi kernel modules. Thus if I understand things in debian, you need to add the appropriate hardware kernel modules to '/etc/modules' and then run the mkinitrd program which then creates the needed initrd. then when you reboot, it will run the initrd, find your scsi drives, then load your systems kernel and its modules. At least thats my vague understanding of this voodoo. cheers, Kev -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal | debian.home.pipeline.com | | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: pgp.mit.edu | my NPO: cfsg.org |
