The other thing that is interesting is the last bit of the output from dmesg. Something like: dmesg | tail -n 40 that will display the last 40 lines of dmesg output. The value 40 isn't super critical. It should show some indication of detecting the disk, or maybe not. -- Russell Senior, President russ...@personaltelco.net _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
