Soory if I missed those details, but... which Tyan motherboard are we talking about and which scsi drivers dont work ?
I am just asking cause I am running Tyans K8S Pro (S2882) with the Adaptec 7902W happily ever after ;-) (5 machines of them) I use kernel 2.6.9.9. I have made some install notes for those who think Suse or Red Hat etc installs easier. Actually Debian (Sid) runs much more stable than Suse 9.2 My notes are here : http://www.be-known-online.com/modules/newbb/viewforum.php?forum=62 http://www.be-known-online.com/modules/newbb/viewforum.php?forum=46 BTW: Note that Suse 9.2 s kernel wont boot with anything than more 4GB Memory by default.
