I have a BusLogic BT-958 (compiled in), pas16 (module), and usb-storage (module). The problem shows up with only the BusLogic scsi device, and the other modules not loaded. (And it also shows up with 2 or more scsi drivers loaded) Note that on this machine the pas16 and usb-storage modules *were* installed, I removed them, and /proc/partitions still looped. (I can't readily reboot ATM) Hope this helps, -- Bob Bob McElrath (rsmcelrath@students.wisc.edu)=20 Univ. of Wisconsin at Madison, Department of Physics --gDGSpKKIBgtShtf+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjunbVgACgkQjwioWRGe9K1rogCdGDnmCWG4gBABWCKlMU+fgEqG iM4AoLGl2o5Wwk9nG2eIbwdXP5SbMju2 =Bfad -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --gDGSpKKIBgtShtf+--
