8.0 installation freeze and Adaptec 7896 SCSI Controller?

I am having the same problem, but I know it has to do with an adaptec 7896 SCSI controller in my box. I have not been able to install anything later than 7.0. I've tried the aicxxx_old fix SUSE has told me to try and it is for nothing. Allen Jones

I recently purchased 8.0 Personal. I decided to do a clean installation, so I deleted my existing 7.3 partitions and booted from the first CD. When I got to the "Detecting Hard Disk Controllers" message, my mouse pointer became extremely slow to respond to mouse movement. By the time all hardware was detected and it was time to move to the next step, both the keyboard and mouse were 100% unresponsive. So I pressed the reset button and installed 7.3 (which works perfectly), thinking perhaps an upgrade to 8.0 would work. It did not, I got the same results. I tried installing 8.0

Same problem here. It happened as well for v6.4 & 7.1. But at that time, I just switched to Yast & get installed. Any suggestion ? I bought 8.0 professionnal to install on AsusP2B-D, 2xPentium II 266 Tekram 390 T SCSI controler... -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com
