Which applies to my sytem. I have a second SCSI host adapter for peripheral
devices. I only wasn't bitten by the order change because there are no
disk drives on that. I do have to change some settings, though, to make an
old tape drive behave. I also have a script to add/remove devices - now these
depend on the kernel version ;-(
