i didn't know the option either before your post. >> Ps: to find things like that see the kernel sources. >> for example aic7xxx=no_reset (along with all other options) is clearly >> mentioned at the beginning of /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx.c >> > Yes, you're right.

So the purpose was not to remind you anything, it was just the way i think best to educate everyone. Please forgive me if you took it otherway. Patrick
