Is the SCSI device your main disk, or is it inessential? I'm no guru, but if I had this error I would try the following: (1) Try booting with "linux noprobe". (2) Try adding scsi_adapter=off to /etc/modprobe.conf (3) Try moving the aic7xxx entries from /lib/modules/<kernel version> (3) Try booting with "linux pci=off" (4) If the SCSI device is inessential, remove the SCSI card If you get the machine to boot, I would re-compile the kernel, perhaps with the SCSI driver in the kernel proper rather than a module. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
