Now this confuses me. I assumed that if the ide-scsi was built as a module you would use options in the /etc/modutils setup to pass in the options when loading the module. I thought the append= line in lilo.conf was to pass in settings to compiled in code. Is that a wrong assumption? Another question: I have everything compiled into the kernel instead of as modules. I have two IDE drives and I'm *not* using the append line, yet the drives are still setup correctly as SCSI. Why don't I need the append= line? -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
