Hello All,

Hello All,
I'm trying to attach one proprietary SCSI driver for optical disk on kernel 2.6.
I noted that if sd attach the same device before, my driver will never be called in the probe function. How can I by-pass this situation ? If anyone can help me I appreciate very much.

ignoring the previous answer and posting your question three times isn't going to get your question answered faster.

Just out of mild curiosity, when one composes a question after much research, and posts it to a mailing list, but gets no response after...almost 2-3 weeks, is it considered impolite to re-post or otherwise "bump" the question again? :)

No, that's OK, but that's not what happened in this case. We saw 2 or 3 emails from Aldo in the space of 1-2 days.

I was being somewhat sarcastic in my response, specifically because while I considered my question [1] (more like a descriptive problem) lengthy, and decently researched, I got no response for the rough length of time mentioned in my preceeding response. Yet, a person who writes a 6-8 line email and provides virtually no information about their issue, or environment the issue is occuring in, gets a response rather quickly.

As I often like to say, "Go Figure", but that's just the cynic in me tonight. I blame C strings.

Yes, I detected that, but I chose to ignore it.

Surely. :)

Good luck. I can't help with that one.
