I've been trying to install mandrake on a BW G3 with an Adaptec SCSI
controller and a SCSI hard drive, and it stops at the disk partitioning
stage every time. It says it can't find a hard drive to install to.
Looking at some of the other VT's, it appears that the aic7xxx driver
doesn't get loaded properly. An manual 'insmod aic7xxx' complains about
not being able to find a module archive or something.
As a side note, Yellow Dog and Debian seemed to find the controller OK, so
I'm sure it's not a hardware problem.
I apologize for the sketchy description, but I'm not at the computer at
the moment. If anyone else has encountered this problem, I'd appreciate
any info...
