Sorry about going > off on this. I'd appreciate any help...Thanks... You get the panic because the cdrom is not at the expected I/O address, I think. You need to examine your hardware, write down the locations of all the cards, and then reboot with -c and change it before the kernel becomes active. This should solve your problem. I don't think your adaptec would work at all if they were truly conflicting.
