Turned up your message looking for solutions to my problem. Don't know how much help this may be, symptoms seem to be different, but just got a system repaired under warranty by the vendor. The original Tyan Thunder K7 MB with integrated Adaptec SCSI was not available so they replaced it with a Tyan K7x Pro 2469GN and an Adaptec 39320A-R card. When I couldn't install FC2 or FC3 (FC2 wouldn't load the module, FC3 loaded it manually when forced but didn't see any drives) contacted the tech who installed the board.

Meanwhile still searching - haven't hit Bugzilla or Google very hard yet. Will follow up if I achieve enlightenment. Phil
