I'm not sure, i've heard rumours that this machine has the SCSI controller on the unexpectedly (for our EISA code) high EISA slot number of 10 or 11. Do you have the chance to install it using another controller, so you can rebuild a kernel there? The source code patch should be very simple, but unless somebody can create a new boot floppy for you, it's a bit tricky to install it then. Justin? Is it possible to bump EISA_SLOTS to 12? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
