Michael, I even tried two different drives. I have even low-level formatted both them just in case there was some Micro$oft poop left on them. hahaha! My SCSI adapter is an Adaptec 2940U2W with the latest 2.57.2 BIOS.
Yeah, I'm very confused. I have cfdisk'ed them and everything with no problems. I don't have virus protection enabled in the BIOS (Dell GX110 A09). And since every other distribution of Linux installs but Debian... sigh... it looks like a Debian compatibility problem with my system. :-( Thanks, /*Raj*/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Heldebrant [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 7:56 PM > To: Raj Wurttemberg > Subject: RE: Help: lilo wasn't able to install... > > > On 16 Aug 2001 19:02:02 -0400, Raj Wurttemberg wrote: > > Nope...
