I just tried to install this evening and made myself a freshly compiled r9 kernel......and the system fails to boot from the point where it sees my Adaptec SCSI controller. It correctly identifies the hardware, gives an accurate status......then seems to get confused and goes into a loop.......and never comes back. Messages like "Yikes! blah blah blah is in a loop!" The only device attached to the SCSI controller is a my UMAX Astra 600S scanner. I tried 'doscsi' on the kernel statement in grub. No good. I powered off the scanner.....No good. I removed the HD and put my old drive back in with it's existing system. I'll try again tomorrow. -- Steve Withers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
