>>> Have you tried a kernel that works? I have seen similar weird problems >>> trying to install 2.4-based distros at home, which promptly disappeared >>> when I switched back to 2.2. No, I'd long since upgraded my entire infrastructure to support 2.4, and I suppose I could build a 2.2 kernel, but have never tried running one on a system that expects a 2.4 kernel. (I.e., all the stuff documented in the CHANGES file, e.g. http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.4/doc/Changes.html). As I said, my current gameplan is to build a new box from the table-up, but with a TekRam board, or get myself a Qlogic board that I can pop in my current system and see if I can add the Plextor on a SCSI bus of its own (which might not be a bad idea anyway, for performance enhancement). There was a discussion on the LKML a few weeks ago about issues with other SCSI devices, which highlighted some of these seemingly Adaptec-specific quirks. Hence, my shopping list for the new system included a TekRam SCSI board, rather than Adaptec. Thanks, Bayard ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bayard R.
