Do you have any IDE drives installed? The scsi card has a bios right?
I'm assuming it does since it was able to boot. Does storm use Lilo?
I haven't been able to install it right because it can't find my drives.
I think that might be a general bug with stormix.(Scsi drive detection)
It's weird my debian system does it fine =) so why doesn't stormix?
