How is the SCSI card going to access the information on the IDE (i.e. not connected to it) disks? How is it going to ask the kernel for data from a logical device that exists only in the construct of the kernel? Maybe I'm just not familiar enough with how SCSI works, but I guess I'm still not getting it... Can SCSI controllers talk to SCSI devices attached to DIFFERENT SCSI controllers? That seems to be the only way this would work, to me... - -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
