Thanks for your reply, but "modprobe advansys" was of course the first thing I 
tried (as root) and it was "not found". Checking 
/lib/modules/kernel/drivers/scsi reveals that indeed the "advansys" module is 
not listed. Your distribution must be different from mine or I am getting 
senile. My kernel version is 2.6.9-1.667. Is there a way I could get hold of 
your "advansys" module? TIA, Cor van Dijk
