Why not just use Linux for your scanning needs and dump Windoze all together... grin -- /\ DarkLord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] Problem with SCSI Controller
Hello group, my PC has a SCSI-Controller Tekram DC390/AM53C974 V2.0f 2000-12-20. I use the controller only when booting Windows, I don't use it with Mandrake. But Mandrake doesn't boot because of this controller. During booting I always got the following message: ... scsi: aborting command due to timeout : pid , scsi 1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 inquiry 00 00 00 ff 00 SCSI host 1 abort (pid 7) timeout resetting ... this messages repeats all over again and Mandrake refuses to go further in the boot process. It's even more disturbing as I don't use this controller under Mandrake, but I can't remove it because I need it for windows. I am able to boot with an older kernel. Is there any way I can tell Mandrake just to don't care about this SCSI-controller? Any help appreciated Thank you Yvan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
