There is a custom kernel/floppy prepared for this situation. Assuming that your only SCSI adapter is the AIC7xxx, the solution is a kernel with no other SCSI drivers. Karl Hammar has prepared a kernel for this case:
The kernel is available at: ftp://kalle.csb.ki.se/pub/vmlinuz-2.0.36-only-aic7xxx If you want the rescue boot floppy image: ftp://kalle.csb.ki.se/pub/resc1440.bin-only-aic7xxx Good luck. -Eric [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Referencing the Debian install pages for Intel, it is stated that there > is a known probelm with AIC7xxx based cards.
