Linux install hangs on Initio SCSI card.

[Vaughn Treude]

Hello all:
I've just upgraded one of my systems with a Soyo KT333 Dragon Plus 
motherboard.  It runs OK in an existing Red Hat installation, but I was 
trying to install the newest Mandrake (9.1.)  This system happens to have two 
SCSI devices (a CD and a Jaz drive) on an Initio-940 (or is it 941?) PCI SCSI 
card, but the hard drives are EIDE.  The problem with the Mandrake install is 
that it always hangs when it's trying to install the drivers for the Initio.  
I've tried expert and text modes to no avail.  The same thing happens with 
Red Hat 9.0.  I figure that it's probably that the installer is expecting the 
SCSI controller to have hard drives on it.  Is there a parameter I can  give 
it to force it to skip this driver on the install?  Perhaps I can install it 
later.  I've noticed that the pre-existing redhat installation did have the 
initio module loaded and running.  Many thanks for any advice you can give me.
