Have you tried the install using 'Expert' mode? The general install
uses autoprobing to try to find the SCSI card. 'Expert' mode allows
you to bypass autoprobing. I have read that some 1542s don't like
being "probed."
If you boot from an install floppy, the 'Expert' option is on the
first screen ( at least on my RH 7.0 install.)
Best,
Tom
