I do know that the > SxS on CD Burners is very good. Good luck. Not directed at Jim directly but,,,,, I am not at all happy with the SxS stating you *must* use the append line. This is NOT true of kernel 2.4.x and I don't believe the kernels are that different. could someone on a 2.2.x kernel (COL 2.4 eg / RH 6.x eg) PLEASE load up ide-scsi as a normal module and test it out by removing that damn append statement? I simply cannot believe such a brute force approach is required. On Caldera it *should* be as simple as placing ide-scsi as one of the first statements in /etc/modules/default. the rule of thumb is you place whatever you want to remain as an ide device *before* the statement otherwise it becomes a scsi /dev Thus ide-floppy ide-scsi allows LS120's (eg) to remain as is. The problem with the ide-scsi appearing so early in the piece eg the append line for god's sake, is that it screws the rest of your 'standard' /dev addressing for many other ide devices. Like all things scsi, if the damn device cannot be found at instantiation then the entire sd?x file system goes awol, dreaming up new numbers you never thought of. for anyone testing, you don't need to burn a cd, just check that xcdroast is alive and kicking -- http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
