Just tried it with 2.4.10-pre10: sym53c8xx and aic7xxx loaded as module ==> "cat /proc/partitions" gives infinite output (and my /dev/hda does not show up at all). Both drivers compiled into the kernel ==> everything is fine; even my /dev/hda shows up. > -Erik -o) Hubert Mantel Goodbye, dots... /\\ _\_v
