i provide the blank.img for this purpose.
here is a quote from www.mandrake.com/en/heliumlast.php3 :
Error scenario: Problem with some SCSI cards using the aha2940 and aha2930
(and possibly other) chipsets. As a result, SCSI drives and CD-ROMs are not
recognized, and you may receive a message like "I could not mount a device on
/dev/scd0" or you will see pci error messages looping in the console output.
When: During installation with some SCSI cards that use the aha2940 chipset.
Please note that not all SCSI cards using this chipset are affected.
Solution: Download this new CD-ROM boot floppy image file and this patch
floppy image file. You will need two blank floppy diskettes and you must
create a boot floppy and patch floppy of the two images (using dd
if=image.img of=/dev/fd0). Boot from the newly created boot floppy and at the
first prompt press F1. At the syslinux prompt type: patch. You will then be
prompted to insert the patch floppy with contains the the proper aic7xxx
module. This will then create a proper initrd during installation.
it doesn't fit exactly into your pb, but should explain nicely...
the blank.img image is available in directory images, at least it will be soon
(i happen to forget to upload in my script :-( )
