I'm assuming a Adaptec 2940, right? I don't think the normal boot disk kernel works with the 2940, only the 2740, 2840's, even though it says so. I know this USED TO BE THE CASE. It may not be now. Special kernel images were needed for 1.1, maybe still true with 1.2? -- Daniel Stringfield mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://users.southeast.net/~servo Send email for more information on the Jacksonville Linux Users Group! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
