That should happen automatically. Have you checked that the terminators are all set up correctly, and that the SCSI ID doesn't conflict with something else on the chain? If you have a host adapter just for this device, is the adapter showing in dmesg? Some SCSI host adapters need to be specified in the kernel config, but you haven't described what you have. Greg
