Ah, I see. My assumption was wrong then. I thought that the append= in lilo was to pass things into compiled-in code, where modules loaded with insmod could be passed in settings when they were being loaded. But does that mean that if you only want one drive to be ide-scsi that you need to use modules? -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
