aic7xxx on floppy disk

[Buchan Milne]

Which card are you running? Have you got a recent firmware? The newer 
driver (default in RH and Mandrake) needs a firmware update on the card. 
You can still use the old driver, I think by hitting F1, choosing 
expert, and then using "modprobe aic7xxx_old" at some point. I am not 
totally sure of this, since I took the approach of updating the firmware.


If you are using Mandrake 8.1, you may also want to try booting from the 
2nd CD, which has 3 alternate images to boot from.



Here is a link to a discussion of this for Mandrake 8.1
