Actually my machine is a 486DX2 66, as far as I know it is not a MCA. The Adaptec card is AHA 2840VL, whis is the VESA model I think. I've opened my computer up a couple times and have yet to find a MCA. Thanks for the response though. Just incase some one needs additional info, I have got it running redhat linux 5.0 before they changed the installer, but with the current installer for redhat 5.1 and debian, the kernel will not load. I have a machine close by, it actually is a friends, but I may be able to build a new kernel... if that is what I should do. Please help...
