Just tried the bf-2.4 floppies on a new server here at work - turns out that certain intel mobo/phoenix-bios/aic7896 combinations won't work unless the IO-Apic support is forced on - without it, the machine just loops continuously resetting the scsi bus/devices. ( Apparently this is an IRQ routing problem ).

( not sure whether it finds the modules though - replacing the kernels is easy - is there an easy way to do the same for the modules in the ramdisk image? ). -- Vivek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
