External SCSI storage attached - Kernel panic

[Enn Pee]

Ok, I will add one more disk entry and check. Thanks
for the suggestion. 

But without all these tweaks, the same combination of
internal and external storage worked straight away on
RedHat (both fedora and Enterprise Linux 3). Does this
mean there is something missing on Ubuntu and not yet
ready for server tasks ?
