Oh, you mean actually *read* the manual, not just print it out, and put
it in a ring binder on the shelf? It hasn't even got any pictures! :)
Well, I stand corrected.
Sorry.

Sections 5.2 and 4.2.2 of the Woody install manual, perhaps? Says that
'idepci' is the default kernel on CD #1 if you make no other choice,
but it also contains 'vanilla', 'compact', and 'bf2.4' kernels.
If you happened to try the idepci kernel on a SCSI-only machine,
you'll *definitely* have problems like you described. I suppose the
reason idepci is the default is that some machines would hang while
certain SCSI drivers were loading.
