Two SCSI controllers

[Wheeler John-FJW250]

I figured it may be a 6.0 - 6.1 issue, but I wasn't willing to take the leap
to 6.1 since my home PC was on 6.0. I guess I will pull 6.1 down tonight. I
let you know if this resolves my install issue. Thanks for your comments and
suggestions.

Paul,
I didn't try the ATL-F[23456] (didn't know that existed) but I think I'll
just go to 6.1 based on what Doug said.

thanks

wheeler

It's more likely a Red Hat 6.0 kernel problem.  In 6.0 we made the mistake
of
turning on the PROBE_ALL_LUNS option of the driver and that kills some
CD-ROM
drives that don't like having higher luns probed.  In 6.1 and later we
turned
that option off.
