Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

udev & scsi pcmcia?: msg#00007

Subject: udev & scsi pcmcia?
Hi All,
I have an adeptec scsi pcmcia card that doesn't seem to be playing very
well - at least the devices on it don't.

Symptoms:
-the scsi/pcmcia card seems to be recognised ok on plug-in:
[root@morgansmachine ~]# cardctl ident
Socket 0:
  product info: "Adaptec, Inc.", "APA-1460 SCSI Host Adapter", "Version
0.01"
  manfid: 0x012f, 0x0002
[root@morgansmachine ~]#

-However, /dev/scd0 (cdr/w), /dev/sg0 and /dev/sg1 (scanner) don't seem to reliably show, but do sometimes? -For instance, I've just re-booted with the scsi card in and I have meaningful entries in /proc/scsi/sg/device_strs:
HP              CD-Writer+ 9200         1.0e
                Scanner                 1.40
-And also /proc/scsi/scsi:
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00
  Vendor: HP       Model: CD-Writer+ 9200  Rev: 1.0e
  Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI SCSI revision: 04
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00
  Vendor:          Model: Scanner          Rev: 1.40
  Type:   Scanner                          ANSI SCSI revision: 04
-But, what's created under /dev/ seems unpredictable?
-"Hardware Browser" shows the hp cdr/w at /dev/scd0, but it's not there.
-"Hardware Browser" shows the Scanner at /dev/sg1, which is there (and also /dev/sg0), but a link to /dev/scanner doesn't get SANE working, when it did under fc2 (if I remember correctly). It also seems to be there after removing the scsi/pcmcia card (but, /dev/sg0 is removed)?..

Needless to say, gnome's Computer window doesn't show the cdr/w. K3b shows the cdr/w, but fails to read the drives disk info. Interestingly, the Nautilus File Browser takes ages (couple of minutes) to reload /proc/scsi/ following removal of pcmcia/scsi card and when it does it then shows /dev/sg1 gone.

Any help much appreciated.
Regards,
Morgan.
