Well i am not a SCSI man, however you could possably be on the correct
track, considering the error msg above; =
sda:scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
unable to read partition table
mount: /dev/sda4 is not a valid block devic8e
The error says "sda" and that sda4 is NOT a valid device, there is no
mention of anything not being found, ie parport.o module, unresolved symbols
or the such likes, it would even seem that vfat has been loaded or is
included in the kernel.
I would imagen that device 08:00 is in laymans terms, the first device of the
8th drive, which could mean its realy /dev/sda not sdax.
I am sorry but i cant be more spesific. I hope some else can be.
