Hello all!

I've just got 5.2 and started to try to upgrade my system....

BUT.... when it comes to finding the SCSI card it hangs.

The card is an Adaptec 2940UW and I'm trying to load the correct driver
module.

I get the same result if I try to use the kernel with support compiled into
it (copied from the CD to a floppy)

The system that I installed using 5.1 works fine with this card, as it has
to as the CDROM drive is SCSI.

The messages that I get are:-

(scsi0:-1:-1:-1) bad scbptr 16 during SELTO
(scsi0:-1:-1:-1) referenced SCB255 not valid during SELTO
        SCSISEQ = 0x5a SEQADDR = 0x8 STAT0 = 0x15 SSTAT1 = 0x8a

This scrolls up the screen, with a further message every 5 secs or so about
abort and reset (I think) but it is too fast to read.

The only way out is CTRL/ALT/DEL or reset button on the computer.

I have tried updating using the boot disc from 5.1 but it gets into YaST and
says that the  CD is the wrong one!

I have also tried using my previously generated rescue disc.

Any suggestions??

Thanks for reading this far!!

System Info:
Micronics Twister ATX Motherboard.
AMD K6 200MHz
Adaptec 2940UW ver.1.25 BIOS
3COM 905 Network card
Matrox Millenium II video card.

System works fine with S.u.S.E 5.1 and kernel 2.0.32 with compiled-in
support for the SCSI card, and network card.
