I'm running RH 7.2 (2.4.7-10), with SCSI (Adaptec 1540/1542 ) and IDE disks. After re-installing the distribution I am not able to mount my SCSI disks. I think I already tried all the stuff about this "challange", but still not able to mount. I tried: -" fdisk -l /dev/sda1 -: depmod -ae -: mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /test -: verified the physical recognition by the SCSI adapter, and verified the disks (all OK) It is very frustrating, because it worked fine after my first install. Now I used the anaconda-ks.cfg file to 'automate' the (re-)installation of my machine, and it is not working anymore. Can anyone help me, please Thanks alot.
