I see on the manufacturer's web page: http://www.connectcom.net/support/software/os/linux.htm Yamaha CD-RW drives, including model 4416S, may cause Linux to hang during initialization. This can be avoided by disabling the CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN option in the Linux kernel. Newer Linux kernels have this option enabled by default. I'm using an external Yamaha 4416SX ! I can't disable multiple LUNs as I need that for a SCSI-emulated ATAPI PD-CD unit. Does anyone have this Yamaha CDRW and Advansys SCSI card? Is this still a problem? Thanks, Peter
