This seems to be one of those things that Debian leadership and/or developers are not addressing. I have VLB2842 based card and I _never_ got a stock boot disk to work with that setup...I would like to help you by giving you my kernel (compiled on my machine), but I'm not a programer and I don't know how to make boot floppies. Sorry. The problem seems to be due to whole _slew_ of different SCSI driver probes on the stock boot floppy which confuse the Adaptec AIC7*** based cards and cause panic. I have had my (AIC7**** based) kerenel compiled by a kind soul who had her own ftp site and she just posted it there for my benefit at the time. Maybe you could ask someone ( using this list) to do the same for you? Good luck DamirN -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
