Not strictly relevant perhaps, but since all you gurus are reading this ... I have a SCSI-only PC (Asus) and when I upgraded to RedHat-7.1 the supplied kernel 2.4.2-2 did not work. This didn't actually worry me, as I had other kernels in my lilo.conf, and just used one of those. But I was wondering why it didn't work; and more to the point, if I had been installing rather than upgrading would I have been sunk? I assumed -- but didn't check -- that SCSI came as a module, and since there didn't seem to be an initrd, I take it that couldn't work. On the other hand, surely RedHat would have thought of that ... Any enlightenment gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: tim@maths.tcd.ie tel: 086-233 6090 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
