[TriLUG] SCSI Devices in "RedHat-like" environments

Brian,

I can confirm that in general, the support for SCSI under Redhat is 
good.  I have two RH9 systems with different SCSI controllers and both 
are fully functional for tape drives, disks, scanner, and CD-RW.

It seems contradictory that dmesg reported recognizing the tape drive 
and assigning it to a device, yet you have no /proc/scsi/scsi file.

I've attached three files/snippets you may find useful.  These are:

1. Sample SCSI related portion of dmesg output
2. Sample /proc/scsi/scsi file
3. Portion of /usr/src/linux/.config pertaining to SCSI configuration

This last file will probably be somewhat different from yours, because 
it's for a 2.4 kernel.

Good Luck,

Scott C.
