Hello all: I am having problems detecting my scsi drives. I have three drives all jumpered correctly and I recompiled the kernel for raid5, and also for my correct scsi controller. I installed the correct raid145 patch, and raidtools, and the latest linuxthreads. The problem is that I cannot mkfs or mdcreate on these drives. I cannot even fdisk them, I keep getting "unable to open /dev/sda." The PC Bios detects the SCSI card on boot up, but then Linux detects 0 scsi. I have a NCR53875J SCSI controller. Below is my dmesg, I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, Greg Green
