hi everybody, I'm trying to install Debian 1.3.1 with an Adaptec AHA 2840VL/2842VL SCSI card; while the RESC1440 disk is beeing loaded I get a lot of error messages; some of them are: - encountered spurious interrupt - failed to initialize module ????? - In swapper task - not syncing ..and it hangs!
is there a way I can save/print the output of the loading process? I'd like to take a closer look at it or even post it here.. I've read in the SCSI-HOWTO that 90% of SCSI problems are related to cables; I can boot MSDOS w/o a problem; does this mean that cables are ok? is Linux more sensitive to cable problems than MSDOS? I booted with my RedHat 4.12 boot floppy and it looks like RedHat would have no problem with this SCSI card; is this kind of hardware support distribuition-specific? TIA! heeeelp: I'm using Win95 to write this!!!! -- Otavio Exel /<\oo/>\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
