I have been unable to use my SCSI drives with 9.1. I hope they sort out this situation for 9.2. Brian. snip Hi, Brian Maybe the workaround I was able to cobble together might help.

[expert] 9.1 and SCSI installations - what gives?
Hi, is this a 9.1 bug or what's going on? - (1) I installed 9.1 from the boxed pack some while ago on a PCI-IDE system with ATAPI-CDwriter, USB flat-bed scanner and SCSI 35mm film scanner. During 'expert' installation the SCSI card (standard AHA1520) was not recognised and no option to instal a SCSI host adapter module manually was offered. It's taken quite a lot of fiddling and advice from a couple of mailing lists to get the SCSI card set up to be recognised at boot-up. (By contrast, it was pretty straightforward under 9.0). (2) I've just been installing 9.1 (from the same pack) in 'expert' mode on a Sony SRX51P laptop - nothing remotely resembling SCSI anywhere around. What happens? - I get the option to install third-party modules *twice* and a query How to access SCSI? with a whole host of module choices for SCSI host adapters displayed, including the one 9.1 refused to recognise when there was *actually* a genuine SCSI card in the system. What gives, anybody? DougB Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Recognises SCSI when it's there, only does what's necessary for ATAPI CD-R drives when it's not - have to admit I didn't bother using 'expert' install though. Paul M.
