You can also look at the /boot/config-yourkernel file under the "SCSI Transports" section for compiled drivers. m means that they are compild as modules, the .ko files. So let us know when you have tried :) On Fri, 2008-07-25 at 09:53 -0400, bob smith wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">I would like to add some disk drives to a couple of alphas.
