> Adaptec 2940 SCSI Host Adapter (LUN 7) You need a different kernel, one with AHA-2940 SCSI support *exclusively* and *specifically*. No other SCSI adapter drivers should be in the kernel if they are not installed on your system. The presence of all the drivers screws disk writes (but not reads! The install knows what kind of disks you have, for instance, and partition sizes, so it looks doable). Your DOS disk cannot recognize your HD because the partition table is trashed. I did that, too. Debian has this information on their website; you should just remember to carefully examine the website before you do anything rash, like installation. :) Go to the website, look through the FAQ-omatic and install webpages for the AHA-2940 pre-compiled kernels. Alternatively, if one has a working Debian system, you can download the kernel source, upgrade gcc, make, libs, &c. and compile a custom kernel yourself. (Not recommended for newbies, I used Debian (and Linux/Unix in general) for about six months before I felt comfortable doing this. -- i'm determined to stand, whether god |=| [EMAIL PROTECTED] will deliver me or not. -- bob dylan |=| www.cris.com/~bedlam
