It seems to me that something must have changed in either the driver or the kernel. There is much information available under ctrl-A but here is some of it. The Adaptec SCSI BIOS version is 3.10.0 Before I hit ctrl-A the SCSI BIOS lists the devices that it finds: Slot Ch ID LUN Vendor Product Size Sync Bus 01 A 0 0 IBM DDYS-T18350N 17GB 160 16 When I first hit ctrl-A, I get a line that says: 29160 A at slot 01 00:0D:00 When I hit enter, I get a choice between configuration and scsi disk utils. When I select configuration, I see the following: controller ID is 7 controller parity is enabled IRQ is 5 I/O port is 1400h When I go into the SCSI drive configuration option, I get the following for each of 16 devices (all are configured identically): Transfer Rate 160MB/s Initiate Wide Negiotiation Yes Enable Disconnection Yes Send Start Unit Command Yes Enable Write Back Cache N/C Bios Multiple LUN Support No Include in Bios Scan Yes
