MANY thanks for your patient help. Summary: SCSI card recognized (cheers heard as far as the neighbors), 2 devices found, cannot seem to mount. There is a hard drive (formatted for windows2000, sorry), HPt20 drive, and a Yamaha 4x4x16 tape drive on the chain. It looks like the first two were detected, but could not figure out how to mount. Mounting this particular hard drive is not a big issue as today I am adding a second (new, empty) hard drive that will be dedicated to LINUX. When I can mount this, I would like to move the root (not boot) over to this hard drive--I have started to study your (coffee stained) HOWTO on this subject.   At the very least, I will have a user directory on this external drive. I also tried cd /dev ./MAKEDEV st0 (should I have used sd--something?). Anyway, if there were a mouse with lots of LINUX experience in the corner of my room, I'm sure he would be selling tickets for a comedy show -- to witness my "experiences" (i.e. the response to "make all" was cc: not recognized! - to conserve disk space, I had not installed the C-compiler). fstab and the dmesg are reproduced below.

Note: A second issue, also Re: Ok: SCSI working, now on to the next! Thanks (S. Allen) Date: 2000, Jun 08 From: S. Allen allen18

A side effect of all this success is that my parallel printer is not detected, and sound is not recognized-- both were before. I am not convinced that this has anything to do with the PCMCIA, rather perhaps a download of RPMs from Red Had and forgetting to turn on (don't touch configuration). I ran printtools, and the HP855 printer is not recongized. I understand if this is the subject for a different forum. Thanks again.

I think the driver side is all fine Re: Ok: SCSI working, now on to the next! Thanks (S. Allen) Date: 2000, Jun 08 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

But I think maybe you don't have the SCSI tape driver loaded? > [ allens@allen allens]$ mount sda1 > mount: can't find sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab I'm not sure what you expected from this: "mount sda1" is not a well formed mount command. You can say "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" (replace /mnt with wherever you want to mount the device). -- Dave
