Thank you Michal, I can confirm that "scsi: unknown opcode 0x01" appears in my dmesg.
The error message output was provided as requested. My naievete meant that I couldn't tell which of the many error messages in the output were significant. My instinct was that the one about suid not being set was the problem. I tried to look at the install scripts to see if there had been a change there, but the fog defeated me. I have attempted to apply your one-liner, I downloaded the source, applied the patch (manually), ran 'make' and then 'make install', but no joy. There's a bunch of stuff talking about gnu make being bugridden, and so I tried the Gmake thing referred to in README.compile but gmake (which it calls) is not in the distribution. I installed smake, and tried to compile and install using this as recommended by the author, but again no joy. Then I discovered that a binary had in fact been created, buried in obj, but had not been installed into the system. I copied this to /usr/bin and whaddya know, it seems to work. Perhaps a brief addition to debian/README.debian explaining the official technique for compiling and installing the package for debian would be useful, perhaps with a link from README.debian among all the existing README.* files too. Thank you again for your patch. regards Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
