Are there any likely "gotcha's" with 2.2.8 from the dist CD, a 450 P-II (Tyan 1832DL), and Adaptec 2940UW controllers? The motherboard woks fine with an IDE drive and 2.2.7. The system can backup from the IDE drive to a DLT7000. It appears to finish normally, but would not access the tape to verify it afterwards. 2.2.8 will install on the disk (ST34520W) on my home system. With the same drive, controller, and cable the P-II will not finish a boot. Installs of 2.2.8 onto a scsi drive always randomly fail, somewhere between "cant stat /mnt" and actually reading some of the install tarballs. I've tried two 2940UW's, three cables, and three disk drives. Termination is set properly. I've tried failing hardware on a K6/350 system and it worked fine. Any guesses?
