If the CD Image is a solution to the problem, is it an accessible one? I.e. Is it
possible to get hold of a copy, and if not are there alternative solutions?
And by the way, what isn't working now Rich? You got the root prompt, but am I to
assume you cannot access your SCSI card? Have you installed the latest version of
the modules package on your new installation?
