I compile all the kernel, do a make modules make
modules-install.. make bzImage..

I know, I have been compiling kernels for years. This is a new one for me.
I have never had problems before. This computer is a new one to my linux
group and it is the first kernel compile on there.

Pardon me, but what does this accomplish? I am recompiling a stock

better yet, here is my config:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=m
#
# SCSI support
#
CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR_VENDOR=y
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=m
# CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS=y
CONFIG_SCSI_LOGGING=y
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_CMDS_PER_DEVICE=8
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_PROC_STATS=y
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_RESET_DELAY=5
CONFIG_SCSI_IPS=m
CONFIG_SCSI_ADVANSYS=m
CONFIG_SCSI_IN2000=m
CONFIG_SCSI_AM53C974=m
This is the part you want to see. This one is still a stock redhat kernel,
besides turning off ftape support. advansys is my card type, and its in
the /lib/modules...scsi area. My other pc has the same setup and it works
fine on 2.2.13.
btw: I made a mistake, its block-major-8. Scsi right?
This is all confusing me.. Why this doesn't work is beyond me.
