I have a Targus USB Go Anywhere: a USB keychain drive. I've found that if I have the kernel's SCSI disk support compiled statically, each successive hotplug of the device will cause it to be assigned a new device number (sda1, sda2, etc.). However, if SCSI disk support is compiled as a module (sd_mod), this problem doesn't occur. I have to include sd_mod in `/etc/modules.autoload' in this case. It will not be automatically loaded for whatever reason. I know that this is a kluge, but it works well enough unless you must have static SCSI disk support (booting from a SCSI disk, for instance). Hope this helps. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
