the debian kernel does not appear to support scsi, or at least not the right scsi, I compiled a kernel for a friend of mine running a 7200 that is working for him (have not got it quik boot yet though) if you would like I could compile one for you. or if you have the ability to compile kernels now (other linux/ppc install or a cross compiler) you can compile a kernel using Paul's or Ben's tree with Mesh scsi support and it should work fine. -- Ethan Benson
