I'm having a problem figuring this one out. Maybe someone else can shed some light on the problem or provide a solution.

I did a fresh HD install on a new machine.
I have a 6.4Gb IDE hard drive partitioned as follows

hda1 - ~6Gb - this is the drive used to do the install onto
hda2 - 384Mb - Linux Swap

I also have four 23Gb SCSI hard drives installed in the machine which I want to use for storage.

They are formatted with one partition each, using mke2fs.
sda1
sdb1
sdc1
sdd1

Using DSL booted from the CD, running live, the system has no problem mounting these drives.

Using DSL booted from the HD install, it will not mount the drives, even though I can access them through the Aterm window (cfdisk, mke2fs) as sudo.

I did remove the noscsi command from the Grub bootloader already.

Anyone know how/what to change so that the HD install will recognize and mount these drives?

Try typing:

lsmod

when running from livecd

Learn the modules that are loaded to enable SCSI hard disk controller.

Then boot from HD and

modprobe name_of_module

to see if you can gain access.
