Actually the entire version is important:  2.4.19-16mdkBOOT is the
version of the kernel compiled for the installation disks.

No, it recognizes the controller just fine.  It's the first harddrive
that is causing the problems.

It's trying to get the information on the first harddrive.  Do me a
favor and unplug the data cable on the first primary master.  Then boot
the CD and see if it gets past this point.  The install will fail
because you do not have a harddrive to install it on, but that's ok.  I
just want to see if it makes it past this point.
