Which boot-floppy flavour did you use? Vanilla-boot-floppies have advansys support included, there sould be some messages while kernel boots. Compact seems to support it, too. Idepci doesn't, Udma66 has it built as a module, so "modprobe advansys" should do something sensible. Might be, changeing to the right kernel helps, if you use the idepci one. If it is udma66, add the line "advansys" to /etc/modules. If this doesn't help much, say which card it is exactly you have and/or look at the following addresses. > What are my options to access the SCSI storage through the Advansys > card?

Get the source and build your own kernel - if the card is not supported by the actual kernel, but is with the latest driver. > I almost always solve my Linux problems (I have two other vanilla PCs > running Linux as a gateway and a Web server) with man pages and > HOWTOs.
