I am using SuSE 7.1 with the 2.4.2 kernel from the SuSE ftp site and have a Phillips SCSI CDRW on an ISA Adaptec 1542 card. I have played around with isapnp until I now get this in my boot log.

This looks to me like everything would be ok, yet attempts to mount the device give "mount: /dev/sda1: unknown device". Also, in /proc/scsi/scsi is only one line that reads, "Attached devices: none".
If you're trying to mount a CD, then you'll want to try 'mount /dev/sda' as CDs aren't partitioned.
I tried to do "insmod aha1542" and get "Using /lib/modules/2.4.2-4GB/kernel/drivers/scsi/aha1542.o /lib/modules/2.4.2-4GB/kernel/drivers/scsi/aha1542.o: unresolved symbol isapnp_find_dev"
Try using the modprobe command, rather than insmod, as this will satisfy any module dependencies that the aha1542 module has (you might want to run the 'depmod -a' command beforehand if this doesn't work). Alternatively you could specify IRQ/IO for the card along with the modprobe command (I've never really used isa_pnp - I always turn PnP off for any ISA cards I have). If the module loading doesn't give you any error, you can type: cat /proc/scsi/scsi to check which SCSI devices have been found in your system, or you can do what I usually do and use 'cdrecord -scanbus', assuming you have cdrecrd installed. If not, just use the cat command. If you get the drive detected after booting, then you can start working to get it detected as the system boots...
I also found this in my boot log, "<6>SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 <4>3w-xxxx: tw_findcards(): No cards found. <3>request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted <3>request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted <3>request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted"
This looks to me like the wrong SCSI driver here. Hope that helps, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
