SCSI????

[Miguel Maria Godinho de Matos]

I have recently compiled the kernel 2.4.16 in a P2 running red hat 7.2.

I have a hp82xxxx so i made sure i selected the SCSI support, as well as SCSI 
cdrom support and tape support ( don't know why though ) and disk support all 
that stuff, but i compiled them as an integrated part of the kernel and not 
as modules!!!!

I Also selected usb mass storage support and stuff but that doesn't matter 
for now!!

Well the problem is:

whenever linux boots it trys to load the Scsi modules for the new kernel but 
it [ fails ], i figure this is because my previous had scsi as module and now 
it isn't a module but a integrated part of the kernel, so i turned off  the 
scsi from the service manager. ( don't know if i am right though ).

second, how do i make sure scsi support is actually running???

third, if scsi is running and if i have the usb mass storage built into the 
kernel, why doesn't my cd-rw appear listed  as a scsi connected device as it 
should??

Did you accidentally copy the initrd= line from the old kernel to the new
in your lilo or grub setup ?

Its a harmless warning anyway.

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

That I don't know. Does it show up on /proc/bus/usb ?

Did you enable the HP82xx option under USB Mass Storage Devices? It may be
marked experimental.

i can show u my boot log... but u aren't after the deamons who start are u 
????

the first part of the boot is so fast i cant read it, i know usb mass storage 
loads or something like that because i can see something related to that, 
beside of that i can't read the messages becaus htey prompt out too fast!!!

and i can't find a log file for those either!!!

anyway here is my boot log:

i know hp82xxx is treated as a scsi device under linux red hat 7.2 )
and i can't find no /proc/usb directory
