I tried to install debian on a computer with an adaptec 2840 scsi controller. (gateway 2000 486dx2-66, 16m dram) At first I had the 2840 bios disabled and the controller with 3 drives attached was not detected. Then I enabled the bios on the 2840 and the controller was detected. A message 'resetting channel' appeared, then a pause, then a screen dump 'oops ..... ending with ..... aiee shuting down interrupts'
What parameters do I need to add at the boot prompt? I tried boot: aic7xxx=no_reset and got 'no image aic7xxx=no_reset'. So i tried 'linux aic7xxx=no_reset' and 'linux aic7xxx=1' and got the same screen dump. What gives, I thought this controller was supported. This computer's cd rom is scsi so I need the controller to install. (it's set at irq 15 instead of the default value of 11). Can anyone help here? _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
