Don't know anything about Debian, but when I upgraded Mandrake to 8.0 I had problems with the 2.4 kernel not recognising my Adaptec 2940UW and 1592 SCSI cards. Problem turned out to be that supplied kernel.rpm didn't include support for older versions of these SCSI cards with older BIOS's. An upgraded kernel RPM was released and all is well.
Perhaps Debian's kernel has a similar problem? Just a suggestion from a Novice. Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
