Well, I've done three things, one or a combination of which got me past the
boot problem. (1) I made the changes to /etc/lilo.conf as you suggested. (2)
I removed the initrd reference in /etc/lilo.conf as mentioned in my most recent
post. (3) I compiled aic7xxx support into the kernel as opposed to loading it
as a module. My reasoning, convoluted and poluted as it may be was that
ATA-DMA support didn't have a module option and was being compiled directly
into the kernel, so maybe the SCSI driver should be, too. I don't think this
was necessarily sound reasoning, but after chasing this shadow for almost a
week, I'd grown desperate in my attempts to catch it.
So now, I'm past the kernel panic.
Still, although dmesg indicates that /dev/hde exists, fdisk says it can't open
/dev/hde. I'll be danged if I know why, either. All I can say at this point
is that the speed improvement over ISA had damned well better be worth it . . .
