The adapter is an Adaptec 1542. With no external devices attached and the card's auto termination feature enabled, the installation proceeds until it gets to the point where it says "aha0 waiting for scsi devices to settle". Then it comes back with (aha0:0:0) timed out adapter not taking commands.. frozen ?! The installation basically stops at this point. The system boots DOS OK and the card is brand new. Can you give me a clue as to what's going on? One other thing is that I had to use the -c option to change the cards port from 0x330 to 0x234 which is the way it is configured on my system. I don't think that should make a difference but thought you should know. I need to fix this quickly so I'll very much appreciate your reply. Thanx. Lanre Amos.
