Bizzare SCSI mount errors

[noyesc at tiac.net (Chuck Noyes)]

Greetings...

I have recently run across a problem that has me stumped.  I've been
running a Slackware 2.0.25 kernel for a few months and I've always been
able mount my SCSI devices without any problem (I boot from an IDE drive).
Recently, however, whenever I try to mount any SCSI device (disk, CD-ROM,
ZIP disk, etc.) I receive the following error:

"The kernel does not recognize /dev/sdan as a block device", where n = the
scsi device number.  I've run the utility /dev/MAKEDEV sda and I still
can't mount any SCSI device.  I've been running the same kernel for about 3
months.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this???

Thanks,  Chuck


P.S.  Has anyone been able to get the Creative Labs SoundBlaster32 (PnP)
card to work in any version of Linux??  It works fine in Windows95...:(
