I have tried adding the following lines to /etc/modprobe.conf.local options scsi_mod dev_flags="IET:VIRTUAL-DISK:0x240" or options scsi_mod dev_flags="IET:VIRTUAL-DISK:0x1000240" rebooted several times, with the same error message even added the scsi_mod.dev_flags=IET:VIRTUAL-DISK:0x240 to the kernel boot options, again the same error. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas ? John
