> And it sits here waiting for something from the scsi card I guess. It works fine with the 2.4 kernel. Btw, Its a Adaptec U160 29160LP scsi drive. That is the only hard drive in the server so it won't boot now :-( Anybody here has any similar experiences with this kernel and the scsi card. Is there any option that I can give at the boot time (asking the driver to use may be deadline io??? or anything else??) to let it move on.
Do you have the driver for that card in your initrd?
Can you boot a knoppix CD?

I can boot off Knoppix CD but can't mount the scsi device. It doesn't see :-( I looked for the device name that it mapped to but couldn't find it. I tried with /dev/sda, /dev/scsi ...
Doesn't this message mean that there is a driver for the card in the initrd??
