Mepis can't see SCSI drives
My machine has a non-bootable Advansys SCSI card, with a DVDROM and a CDRW attached to it. Mepis seems unable to do anything with the SCSI - no driver is loaded at startup, and the drives don't show.
Windows on the same machine works fine, and an older Debian installation has no problem.
Does Mepis support SCSI, and is there something I should be doing to make it work? Google reveals nothing that I can understand.

I do not know Mepis defaults but looking at the 2.6 kernel sources current version the advansys.h advansys.c exist in the tree. But the is not an option in the config menus when building that I can find. So I believe it needs to be compiled outside the kernel build and added to the modules directory.The module for it will be called advansys.ko.

Thank you! advansys.ko exists in several places on this machine - Debian, Fedora, and Kubuntu have SCSI support working. I'll have a browse later to see how to go about installing it into Mepis.
It's an omission that surprises me - I would think there are a fair proportion of users who have SCSI drives or scanners. Perhaps I'm just obsolete
