I have three kernels in my lilo configuration. The original debian 2.2.13 kernel seems to deal with this ok. The other two kernels are 2.2.13 and 2.3.35, both without sound devices, but with sound turned on, so I can install the creative sound blaster live module. The two kernels I compiled both give this strange behavior.
I tried all kinds of devices, even /dev/sg0, etc. Here's the /proc/scsi/scsi information: bash-2.03$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: CD-ROM XM-6401TA Rev: 1009 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 bash-2.03$ Alan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "An inviscid theory of flow renders the screw useless, but the need for one non-existent." ---Lord Raleigh (John William Strutt), or else his son, who was also a scientist.
