ok, i'm into new territory here with linux. i'm installing a new cdr/scsi adapter into a suse 5.3 system. i don't know enough about linux/scsi to interpret the boot messages. below is some output from dmesg. it looks like the second scsi adapter comes up, but i never see any reference to the cdr device (smart and friendly rocket 8020). is there any way to probe the second scsi adapter? thanks! -- michael Linux version 2.0.35 (root@cyberdyne) (gcc version 2.7.2.1)1 Fri Aug 14 21:21:22 PDT 1998 Starting kswapd v 1.4.2.2 Serial driver version 4.13 with no serial options enabled tty00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A tty01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A PS/2 auxiliary pointing device detected -- driver installed.
