Boot with kernel 2.6.8.x and then, as root, run the commands: $ /sbin/modprobe -r 3w-xxxx $ /sbin/modprobe 3w-9xxx which should load the correct kernel module for that card and should let you see it in /proc/scsi. Ed Thanks Ed I don't see it in /proc/scsi yet but fdisk -l now finally shows /dev/sdb: 499.9 GB yahoooooo! :-) Erwin
