CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=y CONFIG_SCSI=y CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS=y CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y CONFIG_SCSI_SPI_ATTRS=m CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX=y It appears the final solution is: 1) CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y 2) linux-2.6.15-rc5 3) wait for 5 seconds before trying to mount the device (I had a script in /etc/hotplug/usb.agent which was working too fast!) Now I see /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, and /dev/sdd, which holds the harddrive partitions! thanks for all the help. -- Iain Buchanan If I were a grave-digger or even a hangman, there are some people I could work for with a great deal of enjoyment. -- Douglas Jerrold -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
