I regards to my post of 2Nov96 about problems with the 4.0 boot.img and a 
failure to detect my Ultrastor 24F SCSI adapter, Michael Ahern wrote:

No, I have not yet found a solution :-(

I've got a couple of support requests into the Red Hat folks.  I'm hoping they 
might be able to help me here.  If and when I do find a solution, I'll 
definately post something.  I did get one response from a person who had a 
second different SCSI card lying around, and was able to use that to 
temporarily get through the installation process.
