RE: [newbie] Recognizing SCSI?

For the sound card, make sure that ALL kernel sound modules have been removed from memory then try running sndconfig from the console (make sure X-windows or a display manager is not running!!)   If it configures proceed...   I believe the SB16 used the Adaptec chipset.   You could try "modprobe xxxx" using the Adaptec entries in /lib/modules/2.x.x-xmdk/kernel/drivers/scsi I.E. "modprobe aic7xxx" Once you get a "hit"... I.E. the modprobe does not return an error... Type "lsdev" and make sure the module you loaded has BOTH an IRQ and I/O Port range associated with it.. Then modify your /etc/modules.conf file alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx alias block-major-11 scsi_hostadapter Finally you should "mkinitrd" for the kernel you have to preload the driver... BTW: Your sound card might not be working because 8.0 now deals with PNP & PCI in a very different manner... Try disabling/enabling PNP/OS in the BIOS and RESETTING the BIOS's PNP/PCI configuration... -JMS   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of JongAm Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2001 7:10 AM To: Jeanette Russo; Newbie Mandrake Subject: Re: [newbie] Recognizing SCSI? Hello.   Well, thank you for your reply. But I've used that one for aoubt 10 years.
