Tony,
Thanks for pointer on DFSee. I wonder if it can help find lost partitions.

Nonsense. The Slackware 3.5 kernels are perfectly stable.
Of course

First of all, the kernel I would use with BasicLinux has to support the SCSI and
not bomb out when I try to mount the Zip 250 or CD-ROM. I think Slackware 3.5
kernels were not stable for this.

BasicLinux comes with a generic IDE kernel. If you have
SCSI devices which you want to access from BasicLinux,
you can download a suitable kernel from the Slackware 3.5
site.

I have tried other SCSI kernels, but N_5380.S kernel was the only one that
recognized my SCSI, but not always stable. I think it was stable in
Slackware 3.1 and an earlier release which I no longer have. I too find LOADLIN
much easier than making a whole lot of boot diskettes for testing differe

Have you tried all the other possibilities?
"Close enough" may not be good enough.
BTW trying different kernels is *much* easier
when you use loadlin.exe to boot.

I use the N_5380.S kernel, it seems to be the only one that recognizes my SCSI.
I guess that rules me out regarding

Did you try the RH/SuSE version of reset? That works

I'm having a different problem regarding Linux installation, with Slackware.
I have Texel (now Plextor) internal SCSI 2x CD-ROM, with Trantor T130B SCSI card
that came bundled with the CD-ROM. Now I have Iomega Zip 250 connected to the
external SCSI connector. This SCSI card uses NCR5380 driver.

Slackware 3.x is based on libc5. The Linux version of
