Is there an alternate module you can try for SCSI support (true of
Adaptec and Symbios (and emulated) cards)?
Do you see the device in /proc?
e.g.:
[root at DL320 root]# less /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: IBM Model: DDRS-34560W Rev: S98G
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
Vendor: COMPAQ Model: BD018734A4 Rev: 3B11
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
and/or
[root at DL320 root]# less /proc/scsi/sym53c8xx/0
General information:
Chip sym53c895a, device id 0x12, revision id 0x1
On PCI bus 1, device 2, function 0, IRQ 3
Synchronous period factor 10, max commands per lun 32
Consider re-creating the node
[root at DL320 root]# ls -la /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Sep 15 2003 /dev/sda
ergo:
rm /dev/sda
mknod /dev/sda b 8 0
