Hi everybody, I am trying to install SUSE 8.0 on an HP laptop using an external CD-ROM drive, attached to the laptop via a SCSI Adaptec AHA-1480B PCMCIA card. I am using boot & kernel modules floppy disks, that I have prepared, according to the installation instructions. However, when booting and loading the PCMCIA modules, when initializing the card manager, the system beeps once and then freezes completely (to the "big-red-switch" level...). If I remove the Adaptec PCMCIA card before starting the installation, the card manager gets initialized and the installation process proceeds further (however, this is meaningless, since there is no CD-ROM drive attached to the system...). In my opinion, this indicates that the problem is relevant to the Adaptec card rather than to the PCMCIA circuitry of the laptop. Can anyobdy help me resolve this issue or point to some other mailing list(s), where I can seek help?
