When I go to scsi disk utilities it does find my adaptec card at Id
number 7. So I think the detection thing is good to go.
On the other issue of "superdebug" any advice other than the readme
for the aic7xxx driver? I'd have to put all the pci cards back in their
initial slots so that I can boot linux, but I know for a fact that this
particular setting will NOT detect the card... Can all this debugging work
even though the scsi host is not found by lilo? If I don't put the cards
back into their initial slots, linux won't boot and I'll get that loop
again.
Thanks :)
