Folks,

  I am setting up a new debian 1.1  box. 

  On booting:

> 
>       [...]
>       Started kswap v 1.4.2.2
>       FDC 0 is a National Semiconductor PC87306
>       NCR53c406a: no available ports found
>       PPA: unable to initialise controller at 0x378, error 2
>       scsi: 0 hosts
>       scsi: detected total
>       lance.c: PCI bios is present, cheking for device


  which leads to the hard disk not being recongised. We can not proceed
  with any installation.

  From our Windows95 system setup I get:
 
>       Hard Disk: FUJITSU M2934S-512
>       Hard Disk Controllers: Intel PIIX Bus Mastering PCI IDE controller
>                       Primary IDE controller (dual fifo)
>                       Secondary IDE controller (dual fifo)
>                       Standard IDE/ESDI HD controller
>       SCSI controllers: PCI NCR C815 SCSI Host Adapter

  So we need a kernel that supports NCR53c815, do we? Is such a
  kernel awailable from a development version? I have seen the
  discussion in June 1996 on the list about NCR53c6x and I think
  I could use the advice  given there to change the kernel on 
  the boot disk, but I do not know where to get the kernel from
  that would support the controler. 

  Cheers,
