Something I found on line may help you at some point... in the same way you've used noapic some users have found doscsi to be helpful. >From what I remember it causes any scsi scanning or loading to proceed earlier. > If you'd like the .config even though it's a different kernel, > just say so. No, I have earlier kernels working 2.6.24-r8, but thanks for the offer. I just want to upgrade but there is really nothing I'm after in a newer kernel. However I would like to know if there is some change since 2.6.24 that is making it so difficult to get a working config for 2.6.27* because at some point I will need to upgrade. I've successfully updated all other software on the vmware guest.
