Hello All,
<braggadocio> My home box just crossed the mighty, "One year without
rebooting; Linux, as we already know, is awesome," point, indicated by
my .signature file.</braggadocio>
My system is a pentium III 500 MHz with an Intel MOBO and an Adaptec
29160 SCSI card. I already have a Seagate tape drive using the SCSI 50
and both my HDD's are using the LVD connection. The CDRW will daisy
into the SCSI 50 pin.
I wish to preserve my magnificent uptime; but, I just acquired an old
SCSI Plextor 12/20 CDRW and I want to install it in my home box.
My brain tells me, come h311 or high water, I will have to reboot, to
make the Adaptec card know the new SCSI CDRW is there.
Must I suffer the agonies of rebooting?!!?
Does anyone know of some command to make an Adaptec, SCSI card reboot
itself? I am running Debian Woody, and have pondered rmmod/insmod, but
I don't think it will work if the SCSI card doesn't know its there. I
have Googled and UseNet'ted to no avail, other than the inevitable:
total system reboot. Remember, to throw a possible wrench into the
machine, / is also controlled by the same Adaptec card. Maybe some day,
I will buy IDE... NAH!
TIA,
The Logan
