Howdy, This may be off-topic, but recently I upgraded a RH5.2 box, to 6.0. I do not have a clue what could have transpired, but after the upgrade I could not see 3 drives. Two are IDE drives, and the other is an IBM 4gig scsi drive. The controllers acknowledge them but fdisk will not. They worked find until I upgraded. [BTW, the point of the upgrade was to install a bigger root partition, and add more general drive space].
Here is some info: The SCSI Disk: <snip> [menion@linux /proc/scsi]$ cat scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: OEM Model: DCRS04Z Rev: 0101 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: SONY Model: CD-ROM CDU-76S Rev: 1.1c Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 [menion@linux /proc/scsi]$ fdisk /dev/sda
Unable to open /dev/sda [menion@linux /proc/scsi]$ <snip>
I can provide more info, if someone would care to help me.
thanks.

p.s. I have tried a variety of settings, and different features... I have also tried different kernel version. Is is possbile that somehow all three are actually damaged, and the OS thinks that they are fine. - At least until it tries to use them?
