Well, I tried changing the order of driver loading in driver/scsi/hosts.c after reading something on the web but that didn't work. Then I tried what you (and another kind soul) suggested, i.e. mount by label, and the machine fails to mount the / filesystem read-write on boot, though I can do it manually. This is a Debian potato system. Well, I'm tired and I've had too much wine and whisky so I am going to bed, but I will attack this afresh tomorrow night... Thanks for the advice, perhaps I'll need more tomorrow :) -- Michael Pacey michael@wd21.co.uk ICQ: 105498469 wd21 ltd - world domination in the 21st century - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
