[SuSE Linux] Partitioning problem for scsi disk
Hello all, I installed a scsi card on my suse 5.2 machine and built support for scsi disk, scsi generic and buslogic scsi card in the kernel (make mrproper, make menuconfig, make dep, make clean, reboot). I attached an external syjet drive to the scsi port, turned the machine on and inserted the disk. But I can not partition it because cfdisk gives error for the /dev/sda device. I know the scsi card and the syjet are seen by the machine, because I get the following as part of my /var/log/boot.message. I have tried various other /dev/sd* of no avail. Any idea how I can partition this? mke2fs /dev/sd* is not work either persumably because I am required to partition it first.
