I suppose you know there are issues on the Mandrake site about that
particular Adaptec card?
I went thru 3 or 4 controllers and a buch of drives trying to get installed
on 7.1. Twas a PITA and I ended up needing to use my live system rather
than the old POS I have hoped to make use of. The Adaptec was one I didn't
try, even though I have one, because of the warning.
good luck,
BobC
