What do you see if you run "ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/"? You can also try to remove the sata_promise module modprobe -rv sata_promise and load it again directly after that modprobe -v sata_promise (both these commands need root privileges). Are there any (error) messages when you do that? -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
