Willem, ide-scsi in lk 2.5 ... a) needs .eh_bus_reset_handler defined in idescsi_template and implemented. It probably would be a dummy unless there is a clean way to do an ATAPI bus (or device) reset. b) replace .detect and .release in idescsi_template with the slave_alloc, slave_configure and slave_destroy interface These are documented in Documentation/scsi/scsi_mid_low_api.txt . If you find mistakes or the explanation is not clear then complain to me. For an example of the use of these new interfaces see scsi_debug.c or aic7xxx_old.c Good to see that you have fixed the ide sysfs de-registration problem. Doug Gilbert
