Nor compiling with a scsi low-level driver. It seems that = I need an >> actual scsi device at boot time in order to see block device 8 (not = tested, I >> don=B4t have such a device) Just for kicks, I tried with: CONFIG_SCSI_AHA152X=3Dy but it does not seem to help. The .config I used for 2.4.18 (the one that is working fine), and the o= ne for 2.4.20 are exactly the same, I just loaded it with make oldconfig witho= ut changing a thing. I can send those two config files if it helps. Anyway, just asking for scsi disk support should be enough to see block= device 8 (and it used to work just fine) without needing a low-level driver at= boot time: I boot on my ide driver and plug my external scsi HD (really a us= b HD using scsi subsystem) afterwards. dmesg used to report: SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted Now it says: SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno =3D 2 Do this mean nobody else is seeing the problem?
