ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/bo/disks-i386/1997-08-01/special/v30 The README claims: Linux 2.0.30 added support for Buslogic's FlashPoint SCSI adapters, syn flooding protection and the new ISDN drivers. Unfortunately this kernel version tends to hang machines in some cases, especially when they are tight on RAM.

May be I've found a solution: I booted DOS and tried loadlin using a kernel I compiled on another box. While writing this I compile a second try because I forgot to include RAM disk support ... all who tried that before know the result. But before this kernel got his panic it detected the available SCSI devices and the buslogic controller and so I'm very hopefully that this will work. If not I will give a further report. (But it will take me one hour because the box which compiles the image is soooooooooooo slow :-((().
