The following is what hwinfo reports. It shows that I have a SCSI controller. It appears that it is not configured. My thought is that the wrong driver was selected during my install since this worked just fine under 8.0. I have 2 Jaz drives connected to the controller. I would appreciate any help I can get here. SCSI is briefly mentioned in dmesg, just saying it is configured but I doubt that since there is no mention of the connected drives and there was under 8.0.

Are you trying to reinstall on a newer version of SuSE? After the SuSE default kernel changed from 2.4 to 2.6, certain SCSI drivers did not work. Or at least did not work automatically. Advansys controllers were one of the controllers that did not work under 2.6 kernel. Perhaps this will help you track down the problem. I had Advansys SCSI controllers for some peripherals, and for me the easiest solution was a couple Adaptec 2940AU controllers from eBay for around $8 each. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, rsanford@telusplanet.net - should you trust your government?

There is a cheaper (and probably faster) solution: simply tell your kernel to use advansys driver again. Since advansys driver has been ever in kernel, all you have to do is enable its option in configuration menu. To do so, just apply that patch http://svn.exactcode.de/t2/trunk/package/base/linux26/unbreak-advansys-scsi.... and, of course, recompile your kernel. Miquel.

Did it. Recompiled the kernel and modules after reconfiguring. Works now. The only question I have now is how I have the module installed during the boot process so I don't have to do modprobe advansys. Thanks for the help. Scott
