Upon plying deeper into the problem I noticed that the ahc0 driver (which is the correct driver for my Adaptec AIC-7880) is saying that that there is an illegal configuration where there are more than two controllers attached to the cable (or something to that effect, unfortunately the machine is not in front of me). I remove the CDROM from the SCSI cable and still got the same message. Is there something I can do in the kernel configuration that would solve this? I also notice that IRQ15, where the SCSI is attached, is being used by an ATA /ATAPI driver. Is this correct? I don't know whether this helps but I've installed FedoraCore1 on this same machine with no problem - I would assume this leans towards the fact that there may be no hardware/BIOS problem. Thanks for your help so far! --Andy Clements
