This is the same driver selection/deselection screen you would get during a normal install, but you're started in command line mode by default. i think you enter help or ? to get a list of commands, and visual to go straight to visual config, but in your case the driver may not be present at all on the visual screen so you may have to enter device sym0 from command line to begin with to add the device back to the list, then disable the other driver(s) in CLI or visual mode jeanmark jmdupoux_@_lineone > > > 3. once you've done that there are probably some config files that > > need hand editing, but Ive never used RAID just ordinary SCSI. > > /etc/fstab should still look the same if it's still possible to keep the > > drives as they are without any kind of reinstall, dont know about > > anything, im just trying to throw up suggestions > > Thanks, I appreciate it.
