G'day all, I have an Intel L440GX motherboard with onboard Adaptec SCSI controller. When I try to install 8.1, it hangs when starting the aic7xxx driver. This seems like the exact problem that I had when I tried to install RedHat 7.1.
Doug Ledford seems to have fixed it for RedHat thought : https://www.redhat.com/support/resources/gotchas/7.1/gotchas-71.html Mof.
