Dear All, I plugged an External HP DAT drive into redhat linux 6.2 box on Adaptec SCSI Controller. After restarting the server I used dmesg to see whether SCSI card and drive are detected .. but could not find it there. Kudzu was able to detect the Card and the hwconf shows the entries as below. class: SCSI bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: aic7xxx desc: "Adaptec|AHA-2940U2/W" vendorId: 9005 deviceId: 0010 pciType: 1 After rebooting the computer again I could not find st0 in dmesg. The SCSI Configuration utility was able to detect the DAT Drive SCSI Controller ID:7 and DAT Drv ID:8. Can somebody pls help me to configure this thing. Regards lilo
