>From http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/ Users of Adaptec 2940 SCSI cards, and other SCSI controllers with the aic7xxx chipset, will probably experience problems with the standard boot-floppies. A kind user has made some experiments which many users find to solve their problems. There are two alternative Rescue Floppies for the i386 architecture at ftp://kalle.csb.ki.se/pub/. There are also replacement kernels in that location, which you can use to simply replace the existing kernels on the boot-floppies. You'll need the Drivers Floppy from the standard location. A competing and newer set of Rescue and Driver Floppies for Adaptec users can be found at http://www.debian.org/~adric/aic7xxx/. I had to use one of those images from for my 2940. -- Brian Moore | Of course vi is God's editor.
