I am in the same boat as Gary. I have an HP Netserver LC and was able to install 2.0.5 but had the same problem as Gary with 2.1.5. Unfortunately, I got busy and was not able to continue working on it. Any help would be appreciated! >Sorry if I got your hopes up, Gary.. > >>I'm trying to install 2.1.5 on an HP Netserver LC, which has >>an Adaptec 274X SCSI controller.
