Is the SCSI adapter that is not loading in SuSE an Adaptec? Some Adaptec SCSI cards do not work with the new AIC7xxx driver that is included in SuSE. I recently found out that Adaptec 29160 cards are among the cards that do not like the new AIC7xxx driver. The solution is to boot off the DVD then select "manual installation", answer a couple of screens and then you will get to a menu where you can select the modules. Go to SCSI cards then de-select "new" AIC7xxx and select "old" AIC7xxx. The installer asks for parameters for the new driver, but I just hit enter. Then continue with the install. After this change to modules the installation was as quick as any other install. HTH -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?
