Did you really misunderstand me? Let me remove any ambiguity: no Fedora installation has ever worked on _my_ SCSI only machine. The fact that they work on your SCSI only machine is interesting, but irrelevant. I give some details of my machine below. I have tried all the "official" Fedora kernels, and all of them have led to panics. I always compile a kernel with built-in SCSI (rather than as a module). If anyone can tell me a magic formula to boot with a Fedora kernel I shall be very grateful. ============================================== Program: Unicore BIOS Agent Version 1.8 BIOS Date: 07/16/99 BIOS Type: Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG BIOS ID: 07/16/99-i440BX-P2B BIOS Eval: ASUS P2B-LS ACPI BIOS Revision 1010 Chipset: Intel 440BX/ZX rev 3 Superio: Winbond 977TF rev 0 found at port 3F0h ============================================== -- 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
