Thoughts?  Sure lots of things.. my shoulder hurts, I'm a few hours late
for lunch, I have to get up early tomorrow.. oh, you meant about this.














Yes.  That means that the slha driver is not seeing your card, or isn't
seeing devices attached to that card.  If the CTRL-A bios shows it, then
I'd say it is a driver problem- I had something just like this with a
29160 that was ultimately fixed by a new driver.  Check
ftp://ftp.caldera.com/pub/openserver5/drivers for a newer version.



Until sconf -v sees it, don't even bother with mscsi.  Once it does,
just edit to match, relink and reboot.
