I am having trouble getting dsl 2.0 to automount scsi disks. No problem with IDE disks though.

I have tried on two different systems (Dell Precision 650 and an HP xw6200).

Using the mount.app the drive appears but I get a message saying the drive is in use. So maybe the 'drive' is a virtual drive used by DSL for the filesystem?

I can get the scsi disk to mount up manually on the Dell by doing the following

sudo su
mkdir /mnt/sda1
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1

This has worked fine while i messed around with remastering dsl. But I would like to be able to use the automount tool for this instead.

I also tried changing the boot file by removing the noscsi parameter but that did not seem to work either.

Also I have tried this while running from cd and from memory (using the dsl toram cheat code).

Anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

thanks

I forgot to mention I tried using the latest Knoppix build simply to have another test point and the drive appears on the desktop and can be read from. So I am sure I am missing something in DSL's config.

DSL isnt based off the latest KNOPPIX build...I dont think DSL supports SCSI drives

thanks for the info. I really like dsl and hate to have to re-invent the wheel. Guess I will be re-mastering knoppix instead for the scsi disk support. I had got knoppix down to 200mb before finding dsl guess I should have saved my work

If anyone else has information or a how-to on remastering dsl to include scsi disk support that would be great.

Nice work on the DSL distro btw it is really polished.
