I'm not a scsi-guru nor a kernel-guru or whatever but nevertheless: I think it is very obvious that you are able to talk to the driver using the functions defined for/by the driver. If the driver is not compiled-in or included as a module you won't be able to see the harddisks anyway... Just my guess, maybe I'm wrong but that wouldn't matter. You said to appreciate "All responses" so this is mine ;-) TTYL. -- Press every key to continue.
