Try typing "insmod aic7xxx" and see if the card is found then. If so, the only problem is that the system isn't configured to automatically enable your card. To set the system up to enable your card, you would add the line: alias scsihostadapter aic7xxx to the file /etc/conf.modules (or, on Red Hat 7 systems, /etc/modules.conf). Once you've done that, the system should automatically load the SCSI driver any time you try to access the tape device. -- Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com> http://people.redhat.com/dledford Please check my web site for aic7xxx updates/answers before e-mailing me about problems To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
