You seem to have misunderstood what I said. If you upgraded from FC-1 as you said then the kernel you were using in FC-1 should still be in /boot and should still work. In my case the old kernel was listed by grub, together with the new kernel (which did not work). Doesn't grub give you a choice of kernels?
I upgraded from RH 9 and I did not see the old kernel listed in grub.
I see now that you say you can go into rescue mode. In that case there is obviously nothing wrong with the hard disk setup, and the problem must lie in the kernel.
But if as you say you upgraded from FC-1, why is the FC-1 kernel which apparently worked not available now?
As I said, in my opinion the best solution in the long run is to compile the kernel with the aic7xxx driver in the kernel rather than in a module.
Is that the default way the kernel is compiled? If not, how can I ensure that it is in the kernel and not in a module?
Thanks so much for your time and suggestions. Jeremy
