Do you boot off the cd or do you use the boot disks? I use the boot disk and then load the module for the scsi card before i start to load the files. If you don't load the module then it will not work as it doesn't have scsi stuff loaded into memeory.
I've tried CD1, CD2 and boot floppy. All fail, but I get further with the
floppy.
First some m/c details:-
PIII @ 550Mhz, 128MB RAM, No IDE
SCSI: Adaptec AHA2940UW Pro Bios version 2.11.0
ID 0 - FUJITSU MAG 3091LS 9.?Gb Hard Disc
ID 1 - ditto
ID 5 - HP C1537A DDS3 DAT
ID 6 - TEAC CD-5325 CDROM
ID 0 & 1 - 68 pin connection; ID 5 & 6 - 50 pin connection
With a floppy boot:
1) load aic7xxx module, no params; hangs after displaying:-
"Downloading sequencer code ... 422 instructions downloaded"
2) load aic7xxx module, add param "no_reset" (or any other param or combination
of paras); hangs in VT4 (no new messages output to screen),
VT3 last line is:-
"Executing: >>insmod aic7xxx no_reset<<"
VT1 has popup box:-
"Trying to load module aic7xxx"
Just for laughs, 6.1 loads and runs fine on an identically spec'd m/c!
I found the posting to alt.os.linux.suse that indicated that the aic7xxx
code wasn't up the correct patch level for the Pro cards. See Message-
