I use -o ro,loop on mounts, and let the system pick the device and blocksize. Works for me... I believe that the vmware config sets the max number of devices you can see, but I haven't played with it in a while. The -scanbus is doing a SCSI scan I thought, I'm not sure why it sees your EIDE at all, but did you boot with hde-ide-scsi as a boot option, so the drive doesn't get attached to the IDE driver? I know, you knew that... -- -bill davidsen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "The secret to procrastination is to put things off until the last possible moment - but no longer" -me -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
