I am being beaten by an incompatibility with an Adaptec 7xxx series driver

wondering if anyone else had recently had to install Linux on an Intel
motherboard with an on board AIC-7869 SCSI controller.


I've used the aic7xxx driver with a 7890 and a... 4940 was it? Anyways, the driver is fine. I found that on my old work station if I enabled the probe all luns option for the module (I was using an initrd), it'd hang. This was a cdrom issue. Disconnecting the cdrom let me boot and disabling that option let me boot and use the cdrom. Since I didnt have a cd changer, turning it off wasnt problematic for me.


That should give you some things to look into. YOu may just need a different boot disk. I believe redhat my have some as errata.
