Hello Aaron, If you did not play too much with the kernel configuration, then you probably left all those SCSI device drivers configured as M (modules). This means that thosee drivers would be loaded only if the corresponding SCSI device is detected when peripherals are being probed. Therefore,

Beware, though, that if the hard drive you boot from is a SCSI / SATA one too, you should take a special precaution -- either don't build the 'SCSI disk (sd) driver' nor your SCSI / SATA controller's driver built as modules (but rather compile them into the kernel) or use the initrd feature.

Ok some background. I am running demudi which has custom lowlatency kernels. This is for proaudio, which I sometimes play with.. But with the latest kernels from demudi the smp kernels won't boot on my system. Why do you think your kernel won't boot? If it contains all the options then it
