Subject: Disappearing SCSI drive when changing SCSI cards
>I have a system with 3 SCSI drives that is using an aha1542CF with kernel
>2.0.34, loading its driver as a module. I changed the SCSI card to a
>BIOS-less aha152x (also used the appropriate driver) an for some reason the
>system was only able to detect the first two SCSI drives. I heard about a
