I cannot (at the moment) say anything about the partition line being printed out, but: * legacy /proc/scsi/ support * SCSI disk support * SCSI tape support * SCSI CDROM support * SCSI generic support * Verbose SCSI error reporting * SCSI logging facility SCSI Transport Attributes --> * SPI SCSI low-level drivers --> AIC7xxx Fast -> U160 support (new driver) --> Adaptec AIC79xx U320 support are all compiled into the kernel. I wonder if it's possible there's a collision between the AIC79xx and AIC7xxx driver. I suppose I could try eliminating the AIC79xx driver (as I have a pair of 7899's and a 7892 in these systems, no 79xx..) -Bob - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
