I am running 9.3, my first update since 8.0. Everything looks pretty good overall. I have a SCSI controller card with 2 external Jaz drives chained off of it. As far as I can tell the system knows about the controller card but never has recognized the disks. This was not a problem in 8.0 or earlier versions. I looked around and can find no tool to sniff out the drives. I used the repair system operation on the install disk to see what I could come up with but no go. At one point I (inadvertently) wound up in the curses based, yast package and had a chance to look at what modules it thought were installed and a SCSI entry was there. Any ideas as I how I should proceed? lsmod does show scsi_mod in the output if that helps. dmesg always used to show references to both drives (sda and sdb) but now the only entry is 'SCSI subsystem initialized'. The drives ARE working as the machine is dual boot and they are visible to XP. Thanks

Hello, From SuSE 9.0 (or 1), the SCSI driver was splitted in two parts, you need to load : scsi_mod and sd_mod !! Try to "modprobe sd_mod" and if it works add these modules in your "INITRD_MODULES" list. If not, please send the contents of /var/log/boot.msg Michel.

Michel. For the record, I just grepped /var/log/boot.msg for SCSI and there were no hits..... hmmmm. dmesg DOES make the single comment that "SCSI subsystem initialized"

What SCSI controller are you using (lspci output)? Is there any mentioning of the controller in the dmesg output? What is the output of 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi'? Philipp
