So, I need to recompile the kernel > with scsi support, is that correct? Yes. You need the usb-storage module, which is an "interface between the USB stack and the SCSI layer". The usb-guide says: "Since the mass storage driver presents the USB device as a SCSI device, you need to turn on SCSI support, which is under SCSI support in the configuration script. You should also turn on subordinate options as appropriate to your mass storage device - usually one or more of SCSI disk support, SCSI tape support, SCSI CD-ROM support and SCSI generic support. After you have compiled the kernel and rebooted (or added the relevant modules, which is usb-storage.o), you should check /proc/scsi/scsi. Information about your device should be listed." http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x498.html Good luck, Robert. p.s. sd_mod is not necessarily the module you need, but scsi support is needed anyway. sd_mod just happened to be the one that I needed on the SystemRescueCD. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
