I'm not sure that I have either compiled in but as I followed the webpage= =20 suggested I see,I noticeed that "A glance at /proc/scsi/scsi/" would sho= w=20 running SCSI devices. (see 1 at bottom) Sure enough it shows that I have = two=20 devices (scsi hd and it) (funny to see that Kodak is only repackaging Son= y's=20 product). Won't everything else be messed up now seeing how what was=20 sda1..... wait; my swap is there. My SCSI is swap, sda5, and sda6. So i list out the contents of sda1 and it gives me a bunch of gibberish (= see 2=20 below). You can see much more through the GUI- it's just a bunch of files= and=20 documents with names like d$d1?i}?.e|$ and ( ba??i? .$? . Would someone d= o me=20 a favor and look at a listing of their swap file and tell me what it says= ? I wonder if this might be why I'm getting the the data parity error I was= =20 talking about earlier. I'll unplug the camera and see if this is so.=20 Well upluging it didn't stop it but perhaps that is because I didn't rebo= ot=20 it. (i'm upgrading my system and so can't do that at the moment.
