Please help - I'm really stuck - I'm new to Linux.  I'm trying to
install
Slackware 3.5 on:
a new Dell PowerEdge Server 2300. It has an on-board AIC-7890 (for the
hard-disk) and AIC-7860 (for the CD-Rom) on booting Slackware using the
aha2x4x.s image. It detects the AIC-7860 and the CD-ROM but can't detect
the AIC-7890 and  harddisk.

The harddisk is on SCSI No. # 0
It's a Seagate ST34572wC Ultra2-SE

This is what I get:

(scsi0) <Apaptec AIC-7860 Ultra SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 6/0
(scsi0) Narrow Channel, SCSI ID=7, 2/555 SCBs
(scsi0) Bios enabled, IO Port 0xe800, IRQ14
(scsi0) IO Memory at 0xf9ffe000, MMAP Memory at 0x4805000
(scsi0) Reseting Channel

Vendor: NEC       Model: CD-ROM DRIVE:464   Rev: 1.05
Type: CD-ROM                    ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected 1 SCSI CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 5, lun0
scsi : detected 1 SCSI cdrom total.
Partition check:
(scsi0:-1:-1:-1) Bad scbptr 255 during SELTO
(scsi0:-1:-1:-1)  Referenced SCB 255 not valid during SELTO
SCSISEQ = 0x12 SEQADDR = 0xa SSTAT0 = 0x10 SStAT1 = 0x8a


Does Slackware support the Adaptec AIC7890? Or do you know where I can
get
the driver.
Please help - I'd be very greatful if you could.
Thanks
