Oops, how foolish of me.  I should know better than to post with without
specific details:

	OS:  I've tried  both RedHat 6.1 and 6.0 with the same result
	System: Gateway: ALR 8200R
	SCSI Controller: AIC 7890 (dual channel) - on the motherboard
	Drives:   two IBM DNES-309170W

	Motherboard: 
		Chipset 82440BX
		CPU: Dual 500 MHZ Pentium III
		SCSI Chipset: Adaptec AIC-7890AB
	

This problem occurs when trying to install RedHat (6.0 and 6.1).  I've tried
the vanilla install mode and the expert mode with a separate driver disk.  Both
hang when trying to load aic7xxx.

If nobody has any ideas, I'll probably drop in an IDE drive, bring up Linux
without SCSI, and work on/with the SCSI drivers until I can figure out why
it's not working.  Again - any pointers would be appreciated.


Thanks
