In which case, it appears that the new kernel doesn't have the necessary support compiled in. The SCSI drivers, SCSI disk support and the various RAID options must all be built-in (i.e. not modules). Check whether anything critical has been built as a module. -- Glynn Clements <glynn.clements@xxxxxxxxxx> - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
