Hi,

In regards to my earlier posting: "SCSI problems -- How many drives to a
bus", there were several replies about the sg driver and what version we
were running. We are running the latest one (30124) for the 2.4.20
kernel, but I have to ask this really dump question here: Should we be
using the Adaptec driver?

I installed the card (it's a dual channel Dell OEM Adaptec 39160 card),
and I went through the normal reboot and Kudzu stuff to configure it,
but there really wasn't much to this, and the system sees it and all
that, but since it's an Adaptec card, how or why would the Adaptec
driver not be the one that we should be concentrating on here? I mean,
what does the sg have to do with all this? Should I somehow be
installing an actual Adaptec driver to support this card?

Sorry, but I thought it might be better to start a new thread on this
question.

Thanks.

George
