Hi. me again It seems the problem is not with the software, but my scsi
setup. is there a good how-to for setting up scsi on a non scsi system? I
have recompiled my kernel yet again and made everything scsi modular. this
does not seem to work, and i also cannot mount /dev/sr0. do i have to add
it to fstab?.... Could you maybe detail how you set up your scsi?? Do you
have any other scsi devices on your system...cause i have not a one.
thanks
