Hi!

I have an Intel Pentium Pro 200Mhz processor, intel VS440FX motherboard,
Adaptec PCI Master SCSI (SCSI-2 AHA-2940) wich is connected to two disks
and one CD-ROM.
First disk, a Micropolis 4421AV with 2Gb, second, a Conner 1060s with
1012Mb. CD-ROM: Plextor 4x.
The video board is a Matrox Millenium 4MbWram PCI. I still have a ordinary
net card not connect to any computer, a Zoom ComStar v.34 voice/fax/modem,
a ISA radio (Reveal) and SoundBlaster 16 SCSI-2.

Ok, my SB SCSI-2 is on IRQ 11 I/O 340h. My Adaptec PCI SCSI-2 is on IRQ 9
and Net card on IRQ 10, I/0 300h.

I have nothing connected to the SB SCSI-2. SCSI-2 stuff is connect on
Adaptec PCI SCSI-2.

The instalation Kernel shows this:
 "Linux 1.2.13 (Universe 1.1) #9 Fri Nov 3 20:30:00 MET 1995"

The installation shows up the following problems:
  "Unknown PCI device. PCI Vendor id=8. PCI Device id=1237"
  "Unknown PCI device. PCI Vendor id=8. PCI Device id=7000"
  "Unknown PCI device. PCI Vendor id=1. PCI Device id=8178"
  "Unknown PCI device. PCI Vendor id=7. PCI Device id=519"

The instalation hangs with the following sentence:
  "Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 0b:00"

I'm currently running Win95 on the machine and wating for my educational
priced Windows NT workstation 4.0. As I have to work (and like it) on Linux
on my university, I'm wanting to install it home.

Linux won't install.

Thanks for your time.

Best Regards,

Carlos M. Delgado,
