I'm booting with own kernels WITH SCSI-LUNs - and it works! :-)) Someone told me SCSI-LUNs would be dangerous ;-) ;-) because of any bad SCSI-drives on market ... If that problem exists, it's a problem of bad drives, that do not follow SCSI-specifications. I do run own kernels since 1999 and I never had a problem. I'm using good drives like Quantum or IBM. You need a dev-station and kernel sources, knowledge about configure a kernel and you must know how to install an own kernel. -- mfg Hajo C Jeske UNIX-Software-Entwickler, Unix-Administrator, Daten-Rettung und Komplett-Einrichtung/Upgrade von Linux-Systemen mit Service und Wartung ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
