I'm new to Linux, but I've been working on computers for years, so let me ask a question that's naive, yet (I hope) insightful :-) : Wouldn't an "EATA" driver be for "Extended ATA", that is, EIDE? It doesn't seem to have much to do with SCSI. So yes, try removing it.

Just switch your other drive to the opposite position on the cable. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Manager, Dueling Modems Computer Forum <http://dm.net> -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
