nec scsi controller
I have nearly everything working; i've even mounted afs. The last piece is the scsi cdrom. It's a NEC 16 bit controller, probably about 3 years old. As near as I can tell from the kernel documentation, I need the eato driver. I compiled this into a kernel, but I get: bash-2.00# mount /dev/sda3 /cdrom -t iso9660 mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/sda3 as a block device (maybe `insmod driver'?) however, the driver is built into the kernel. rick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

EATA0: address 0x170 in use, skipping probe. scsi : 0 hosts. scsi : detected total. something is already getting at it. The controller does make some kind of attempt to boot from the cd, at least sometimes--i get a reference when there is no hard disk partition bootable. So how do i clear whatever has its grubby paws on the controller? rick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Try disabling them or changing the nec card to another address. +--+ + Paul Wade Greenbush Technologies Corporation + + mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.greenbush.com/ + +--+ + http://www.greenbush.com/cds.html Special Linux CD offer + +--+ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
