If it were only true.  There is no such device as /dev/st0 or 
anything else having to do with scsi in /dev on this system.  Kudzu 
sees the scsi adapter but does not ask to configure it. So how does 
one tell CentOS4 that the adapter exists?  Do I have to manually 
tell the kernel to load a particular module?  If so how and which 
one?

Jim
