Problem with adaptec card and RH6.0

[April Escamilla]

Norgul,

    Do you think this problem could be solved by running the tedious debug
option provided by the aic7xxx driver?  If you go to the readme for that
driver, there is info about it, and so far, it is the best lead I have (from
my siglunx group).  My bios detects my card, and its just linux that is
freaking out when it encounters it.  I don't know if you or anyone here has
any ideas on this, but it is one line of attack.
    Would it be a plausible solution to manually set IRQ's in the main
system BIOS?  Just a thought, as this is my plan B right now, since the
cyclades board and the scsi card seem to be fighting for IRQ 9.
    Also, is there an update perhaps for RH6.0's aic7xxx driver that may
solve the problem?

thanks,
april
