SubjectUnable to See Disks?
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?
