I'm trying to install 2.1.5 on an HP Netserver LC, which has an Adaptec 274X SCSI controller. (I need 2.1.5 because I want to use an Intel Etherexpress Pro100 network card.) The netserver's controller is on the EISA bus. In 2.1.0, ahc1 and ahc0 are probed on the EISA bus, and so my scsi controller is found. They aren't probed there in 2.1.5, so my scsi controller isn't found and I've been made a sad human. I know the problem isn't a conflict because I disabled everything but the essentials and it still didn't find it. My theory is, as I said above, they need to be probed for on the EISA bus. (These controllers aren't listed in the "mass storage" list when I boot with -c.) I searched the archives and found one other reference to exactly this problem, but no solution appeared -- I emailed the person with the problem and he had given up. I'd appreciate any help solving this; we'd like to use this machine for our courses next semester.
