I have tried some other versions of Linux and nothing seems to work on this machine. SLAX does load but it is ignoring the SCSI bus so doesn't see this chipset and SCSI drive. I tried booting from the install media and then told it to boot the installed system but continue to get the same error. It wasn't clear to me how to add the SCSI driver as I don't have any control over the machine at this point. Also, SUSE 10.1 apparently choose to install the SCSI driver because not only do I get through the entire installation writing to the harddrive but when it boots the first time it is actually loading the kernel of the harddrive but then I get so many errors that the machine becomes unusable immediately prior to being able to put in the root and user passwords after the first reboot. What I am beginning to suspect is one of the following: 1) Defective AIC-7902W onboard chip 2) In proper SCSI termination based on a lack of understanding on my part 3) Bad Adaptec Driver code for this chipset on Linux /usr/src/linux-2.6xxx/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic79xx* seems to be version 3.0 It would be nice to know if anyone has succeeded with 10.1 and an onborad AIC-7902W chip?
