Greetings and thanks for your suggestions.. The problem with 2.4.20
is that both sr_mod and sd_mod are no longer evident in the
distribution, even though rc.modules has them listed..
..../kernel/drivers/scsi now has at least 30-40 modules with
different titles than previously.. There has got to be some docs
somewhere that will explain the changes - I hope... <grin>
Slackware9.0 is a new ball game compared to what I've been used to
with v8.0 and before.. Apparently some of the files have been carried
over from the older distributions - probably overlooked at this point
in time.. No wonder with all the complexities involved..
Anyway - Jim Hatridges' scheme on another post, accessing the drive as
/dev/hdc4, works - not needing the ide-scsi.o module.. Go figure...
The more I learn about computers the less I know... <grin> Thanks
again, and Cheers,
Hal - in Terra Alta, WV - Slackware GNU/Linux 8.0 (2.4.18)
