I have linux installed, my IDE is working ok, but when I try to mount the SCSI devices - CDROM and Hard drives. Things that I was able to check and well attempt to find out. The devices are detected OK. There are entries in the /dev directory for sda*, scd*,sdb*,... I have remade the devices using MAKEDEV The SCSI support is loadable from /etc/rc.d/rc.modules using the line (modprobe aha1542C) It works ok, the SCSI parms are shown on boot, irq 11, io 330, dma 5. It detects the HD's and the CD np. When I cat /proc/modules I get the following three SCSI related modules loaded /etc/conf.modules has a line that states (alias scsi_hostadapter off) cdrom.o aha1542.o && when I cat /proc/SCSI/aha1542 I find one file 0 -- which contains the same table that is shown on the bootup. 2 SCSI hard drives 1 Sony SCSI CD I have seen this boot before and noticed that usually either during the display of this table or after the display of this table, device names are attached. i.e. sda1, sdb1, scd0. Currently that is not happening, but this is only SCSI I have and have nothing to compare to so I am not sure if this is really an error. The actual problem is when I go to mount the devices, a message comes back and says. mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /cdrom || mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom will return with Kernel does not recognize /dev/scd0 as a valid device. Try insmod maybe? Kernel does not recognize /dev/cdrom as a valid device. Try insmod maybe? or mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt || mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt Kernel does not recognize /dev/sda1 as a valid device. Try insmod maybe? Kernel does not recognize /dev/sdb1 as a valid device. Try insmod maybe? Both drives have single partition. /etc/conf.modules has a line that states (alias scsi_hostadapter off) I commented this line out (out of ignorance of course) and when the attempt failed I promplty removed the hash. I also changed "off" to "aha1542" again out of ignorace and replaced "off" when it failed. I read the SCSI howto and it pointed me to remaking the device names, but that didnt' work? Heh, after I wrote your eyes out_ please help :) ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
