[ILUG] Things

[Brian Cullen]

Niall,

I do a ls /proc/scsi and get:

[root at linux /]# ls -l /proc/scsi
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x   2 root     root            0 Sep  5 15:23 ips
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root            0 Sep  5 15:23 scsi
[root at linux /]#


When I put in the 2940U2W the kudzu found and installed the card, so I am
puzzled, which is not difficult. Is there a noddy guide for me to get the
DLT working on this card? It is a Quantum DLT8000. 

Also, 

I mentioned earlier in my mail anyone know how to fix:

INIT id"1" respawning too fast disable for 5 minutes. I get this on the
booting console. Any ideas, are much apperiacted. I have tried hashing out:

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1

from the file but to no avail. Help!!!

	Looking at that, I don't see any mention of the Adaptec. What does
ls
	/proc/scsi show you ? It should show scsi, which will give you a
list of all
	devices on all hosts (controllers) and then a directory for each
driver,
	within which is a number for each host. Catting this number (what
should I
	call those things under /proc ? They're not files, really, but they
behave
	like files. Virtual files ?) will give you general information about
the
	associated controller. Do you see an entry there for the Adaptec ?
Your lsmod
	output shows that the relevant module is NOT loaded, so unless
Adaptec
	support is compiled into the kernel, you're going to have a hard
time seeing
	that DLT :-)

	Simply shows that the Adaptec hardware is there, which we already
know.
