I have all IDE drives, except for my Parallel zip drive which is kind of a scsi device. I have scsi disk support (for the zip drive), plus all the other stuff for scsi-ide burner emulation, and it lives together happily . . . so far ;-) In my lilo.conf I have append="hdd=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi" where they are cdrom and cd-burner, but I don't do that with hda hard drive. I suppose if you have scsi emulation on your hard drive, that might not be a good thing? Otherwise I suspect the scsi emulation isn't the cause of your problem. -- Thank you, Joe Bouchard Powered by Debian GNU/Linux
