OK. Maybe it's not the mesh driver (that is the one you tried, right?) There's at least one other Mac scsi driver on that list, but I can't think of the name of it off-hand. Do you currently have linux installed? Have you ever had it installed? What was the scsi driver in dmesg? Use that. Wish I could be more helpful--anyone else out there know what scsi driver he's supposed to use? Jeff On Tue, 26 Jun 2001, Robert Zelnik wrote: > I tried it.
