There is still no joy in Mudville.

This morning I tried booting with disk 5 and it couldn't find my raid.  I
did some reading in the installation manual and found that the current
boot kernel has a known problem with AIC7xxx-based SCSI cards, which mine
is.  It states that if you use the "aic7xxx=no_probe" boot argument it
should fix the problem "in some cases".  At the boot: I typed "linux
aic7xxx=no_probe" without the quotes and got the same results.

This is very frustrating.  Any ideas?
