Well, thats the problem, i've got 1 harddisk and thats SCSI (Quantum
Atlas III). I've installed linux on it, but because of the
incorrect AIC7xxx driver on the CD, I can't access my harddisk.
Linux "panics" because it can't find my root. So, If anyone
knows of a way to boot linux and update the kernel, he will
make me very happy when he says it.
Ciao!
