cooker20011224 It appears that the sg module is not being loaded at bootup and probably effects LM 8,1 according to recent posts on the expert-list..... See the subject: Xsaane-cooker20011224 for a background on my search for a solution to the problem of a previously working scsi scanner and CDRW not being activated eventhough thry were acknowledged on boot up and in /proc/scsi/scsi This happened after installing cooker200112124 from a working LM 8.0freq +extras
#modprobe sg ...did the trick for me so a simple solution to several hours during several days worth of effort... My scsi scanner,CDRW now work... I put it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local for now but this is not an acceptable long-term solution I would think.? ...Another "not-new" Mandrake user actually had to 'mknod' as the /dev/sg#s were missing ..... I sincerely hope LM 8.2 will not have this !!!??? William Bouterse Talkeetna, Ak
