I suppose the same. Suse has a different install concept: it offers auto-probing _and_ specific driver selection. I didn't try auto-probing, but selected only the aic7xxx driver (nothing else was necessary). My Suse system is now running, and I'm in the process to build my own kernel. I hope, I can transfer it to the Debian boot disk. > I would like to help you by giving you my kernel Thanks for your offer. If I can't get it on my own, I'll be back. Have a nice weekend.
