I have an Adaptec scsi card for my Microtek E6 scanner which is not presently being used with my current MDK9.0. It took me _weeks_ to find information on setting it up with Mandrake - MDK 8.1 at the time. Anyway, here's the website that provided the information: http://www.mir.com/mtek/ava-hints.html At the time I added the following line to /etc/modules.conf: options aha152x aha152x=0x140,9 and in /etc/lilo.conf append="aha152x=0x140,9" with "140" being the base I/O address (140h) and "9" being the IRQ which I set manually in BIOS. So perhaps you need to edit your lilo.conf. HTH. Sharrea -- Help Microsoft stamp out piracy - give Linux to a friend today
