(RH 6) on asus2b-s w/aic7xxx problem

[Aad Rijnberg]

Hi,

I also had problems getting a SCSI adapter (Adaptec 2930U) recognized in
Redhat 6.0. I tried several things (a.o. reconfigure and compile kernel and
modules) but each time during start-up of Linux it said 0 hosts detected. My
colleague told me it might have something to do with my initrd (ramdisk boot
image). He advised me to upgrade to RH6.1, because he thought it was a bug
in 6.0. I upgraded to 6.1 and yes, it worked.
