That's because everything was wrapped in cotton wool for you, so you didn't break it. When you add new hardware, often you should know what it is. The command: lspci often helps here if it is PCI. Then all you do is look for the appropriate kernel module (and assuming you have it) and then load it: modprobe <foo> This may or may not require you to build a new kernel. Most stock kernels should have the modules already in place that you just need to load. If it is successful, you can get to load at boot by adding the name to /etc/modules (or you could use 'modconf'). As to your harddrive, /dev/hdc ... that is either because scsi-emulation is taking over it, diverting it, or it is on another IDE channel. Again "dmesg | more" will help you there in ascertaining that information. There is also "discover" from the progency people which is an attempt to detect HW.... -- Thomas Adam -- "Frankly, Mr. Shankly, since you ask.
