Happy Monday morning, folks! What's the status on the driver for the on-board SCSI and ethernet controller for the HP-Vectra? Archives from the mailing list from several months ago indicate that then, it was only partially supported; however, the 3.0SNAP from February boot floppy managed to recognize both the ethernet and all the attached SCSI devices. But, instead of getting the familiar stand/sysinstall menu, I get a black screen with a little cursor at the bottom left-- not conducive to getting an installed system. So, the question is, 'should this be working and I should try to track down driver/IRQ conflicts, or, should it not be working so I should go find another machine?' (Or, I guess, 'should I go download the brand spanking new SNAP release?') Thanks for any help, -Anne Brink anneb@svl.tec.army.mil -- "The only thing more frightening than a programmer with a screwdriver or a hardware engineer with a program is a user with a pair of wire cutters and the root password." -E.
