SCSI drive Detection

[pitty]

working on a data recover problem, trying to copy the contents of a scsi drive

No problem booting Knoppix. I am trying to mount the local SCSI drives with no success. an examination of the file scsi in /proc/scsi shows an IDE cdrom, and a USB drive, it does not show the SCSI drives.

I preformed and fdsk on devices sda thru sdh and do not see the drives.

what do I try next?

running version 3.4

Try both knoppix 3.7 (from December 2004) and knoppix 3.8.1 (released this month).
What SCSI adapter is in the machine? If you can identify the SCSI adapter, then we might be able to tell you if the driver is in a more recent knoppix.
I hope this helps.

Look in dmesg. If you cannot read it all try dmesg | less, then you can page through. Look if your scsi controller was detected. Look for your harddisks with dmesg | grep sd* and try cdrecord -scanbus if they will be recognized.
