7890,440bx and k2.0.35

[Anthony J. Breeds-Taurima]

Hello all,
	I have had some success getting the current (5.1.0pre7) aic7xxx driver
to work.  I'm using a very basic Redhat 5.1 installation.  My problem is
getting the machine to boot.  For one reason or another I cannot get Linux to
boot via LILO.  I've used the god awfull 
"dd if=arch/i386/boot/zImage of=/dev/fd0" (after installing aic7xxx.c into the
kernel as opposed to a module) to make a boot disk and this does work quite 
well.  Does anyone have any pointers to getting LILO working with this device.

Currently I haven't enabled "verbose" or the necessary #define

Thats a job for tomorrow :)

when I run "lilo -v" I get:
LILO version 20, Copyright 1992-1997 Werner Almesberger

Reading boot sector from /dev/sda
Merging with /boot/boot.b
Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.35
Mapping RAM disk /boot/initrd-2.0.35.img
Added linux *
Boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.35-2
Added linux-rhl
The boot sector and the map file have *NOT* been altered.


Below are some file that I hope will be usefull.

Yours Tony.
