I have never used a SCSI drive, but I seem to recall that you might need an initrd.img of some kind that holds the SCSI modules the kernel needs to boot, and that both your GRUB menu.lst and the lilo.conf need to reflect the need for that initrd.img. Typically the initrd img files have names that match the kernel version you want to use. See man page for mkinitrd and lilo.conf for more details. -- Tom Porter [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
