If you want to access the SCSI controller, and devices attached to it, you'll obviously need the SCSI stuff. If not, then recompile your kernel without SCSI support (genkernel users only need to do 'genkernel --config'). Another option is to make the SCSI driver a module, not load it on startup, and only attempt to load it when needed. - -- Mike Williams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/ixtwInuLMrk7bIwRAuYoAKCuPJAPhZeyyL2Eha3U7eIN2b1EiACeNDqN 3j/qm8NCMcw/ros+s/PA2lY= =euXH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
