I have a SCSI drive attached to one of the hotplug bays in the front. It uses the cpqarray driver to communicate. The drive is mountable. I am also using the 2.6 SMP kernel (supplied with the installer cd). I am going to try to reinstall again, but before I do so, could you specify what you meant by a barebones install? My installer runs into problems even before I get ELILO installed.
