Re: NCR SCSI - which debian kernel will work
Must have been a pre-release then. The Slackware 3.5 CD has v2.0 and v2.1 directories, and he was about to install the latest 2.1, until I explained that 2.1 series are developmental, so he went to the 2.0 directory and installed the newest one in there, which was a 2.0.35, because I told him it would be safe.

Re: NCR SCSI - which debian kernel will work
One of my friends just installed Slackware and had the same problem. He used the 2.0.35 kernel but I'm pretty certain you'll be fine with the 2.0.34. I don't know what kernel the latest bo comes with, but you might want to consider hamm, since upgrading from bo to hamm is a considerable pain but a fresh hamm install in ways can be easier than bo, specifically for you with this issue I would imagine.

NCR SCSI - which debian kernel will work
Hi, After spending many hours last night and today searching the net I found a few references to other people having similar problems to me. (The system hangs on my NCR53c875 SCSI controller when I try boot from the rescue disk to try and install debian "bo" 1.3.1. Incidently Caldera works...) It appears that the kernel version that is include on the debian CD I have is the issue. Does anyone know were I can get the appropriate kernel and how do I use it to do this installation?
