I have the scsi-mod loading in rc.modules and have the device hdd set as ide-scsi and when this was done the computer locked up on boot up. I have a ide hard drive on this machine and according to what I've read that precludes use of the scsi kernel. Actually slackware provides kernels that may be lots closer for scsi than the scsi kernel since that includes all scsi drivers. I may just rebuild this system with the scsi kernel and see what kind of trouble I can get this system into given all of these circumstances. The criteria may turn out to be wrong. It may be if you plan to use any scsi devices even if you have an ide hard drive go with the scsi kernel, right now, I don't know and am getting curious. -- Jude <dashielljt(at)gmpexpress-dot-net>
