I take it you are trying to install your system to one of the SCSI
drives? If you're not, just go ahead and install everything to
the IDE drive and when you get to the part of compiling your kernel
just make sure you build in the driver. It looks like that particular
driver isn't loaded by default. <br>
<br>
You'll have to change the code maturity option so that you'll be able
to find the driver in the SCSI low level menu of your kenerl configure.
The fact that it's a new driver is probably why it's not loading for
you by default.<br>
<br>
Your best bet is to install to your IDE drive, and if you'd like your
SCSI drive to be your boot drive just build the correct kernel drvier
and move your data over once your system is running. Don't forget to
change your fstab though before rebooting on the SCSI drive.<br>
