I have recently compiled the kernel 2.4.16 in a P2 running red hat 7.2.
I have a hp82xxxx so i made sure i selected the SCSI support, as well as SCSI
cdrom support and tape support ( don't know why though ) and disk support all
that stuff, but i compiled them as an integrated part of the kernel and not
as modules!!!!
I Also selected usb mass storage support and stuff but that doesn't matter
for now!!
Well the problem is:
whenever linux boots it trys to load the Scsi modules for the new kernel but
it [ fails ], i figure this is because my previous had scsi as module and now
it isn't a module but a integrated part of the kernel, so i turned off the
scsi from the service manager. ( don't know if i am right though ).
second, how do i make sure scsi support is actually running???
third, if scsi is running and if i have the usb mass storage built into the
kernel, why doesn't my cd-rw appear listed as a scsi connected device as it
should??

Did you accidentally copy the initrd= line from the old kernel to the new
in your lilo or grub setup ?
Its a harmless warning anyway.

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

That I don't know. Does it show up on /proc/bus/usb ?
i can show u my boot log... but u aren't after the deamons who start are u
????
the first part of the boot is so fast i cant read it, i know usb mass storage
loads or something like that because i can see something related to that,
beside of that i can't read the messages becaus htey prompt out too fast!!!
and i can't find a log file for those either!!!
anyway here is my boot log:

there are no connected devices in /proc/scsi/scsi ( as they should for what
i know hp82xxx is treated as a scsi device under linux red hat 7.2 )
and i can't find no /proc/usb directory

Did you enable the HP82xx option under USB Mass Storage Devices? It may be
marked experimental.
