Dear reader.
Sorry I forgot the subject at first.
I have several IBM PC's: MCA based OR PCI based PC's, working fine with debian

A new one gave me this problem.
The PC is a IBM 520 8641MDG. (Pentium 133MHz). The motherboard has 8 MCA slots
AND 2 PCI slots.

I'm not sure which version of what, but MCA and SCSI are both supported

Seems like it's just a conflict between the controller and the scanner
because the other devices work ok. As it crashes anyway, with
termination on the controller, try it without.

other than that there was absolutely no problems.

interpret the error messages to decide if they are genuine errors.
The installation still does not "see" the hard disk and offer fdisk.

MCA IS supported by the kernel. I recently built a 2.2.x version with MCA
support for a PS/2 386 which I have. You may however have to enable
developmental options in the c/menu/x config menus though.
Dunno about 2.0.x kernels.
