I have a machine with scsi on the motherboard (AIC-7850) which
is currently running 9.0.28 originally installed with the SIPB
installer.
Last night, I tossed a larger disk into it and tried to install
it with the installer from the bootkit locker. The install failed.
The installer attempted to load the aic-7xxx driver and failed, it
then prompted me to load scsi drivers by hand. I attempted to load
the various options of adaptec scsi drivers by hand, none worked.
(nothing should up in /lib/modules).
If there are other things I should try to test, let me know. The
machine *runs* with the 7.1 aic-7xxx driver, I'm not really sure
what's different about the install floppy.
