Some removable medias don't tell Linux when you change the disk. The easies way to make it work is to try to mount the device before reinserting a new disk (you'll get some orrors of course... ignore them), so Linux notices you changed it. >So I tried booting without media in to verify if it works on the clean >way. This what the dmesg says: [...] Strange. I get a "READ CAPACITY failed, blah blah blah", but then all works fine. [PMac 7300, MO Fujitsu 640MB on ext. SCSI bus] Bye.
