I had a similar problem when I got my current machine last summer. here's how to solve it... 1) boot from the Gentoo CD 2) execute "lsmod". This lists all the modules that the kernel has loaded. One of them is running the drive. If you get desparate, build each module into your kernel, one at a time, until you find what works. 3) execute "lspci -v". The listing *FOR THE DRIVE* (as well as the controller) may show what module it wants. Compile that into the kernel. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- [email protected] mailing list
