I'm having no luck at all installing the Debian 2.0 Linux distribution on my 486 PC. The system is 100% SCSI. I've removed all extra cards except for the serial/floppy controller and the video card so I don't believe there are any conflicts. I've also disconnected all SCSI devices except the boot drive. The boot/installation gets into a loop with the following error messages: (scsi0) BRKADRINT error (0x1): Illegal Host Access (scsi0) Line=0 (scsi0) BRKADRINT error (0x1): Illegal Host Access (scsi0) Line=1 Whatever happens before this is a mystery, since there is no log file preserved after I reset the machine and the text scrolls by too fast for me to read it. I thought I spotted something about a loop detected in the deselection list, but I can't be sure. I'm using the default boot floopy that comes with Debian 2.0 and using the boot param "linux aic7xxx=no_reset" as recommended for this card by the Debian help menus. I've posted this question on the Usenet groups, in #debian on IRC, and the debian-users mailing list and none of the suggestions have gotten me anywhere yet. What am I missing? Can someone please help me end 3 weeks of utter frustration?
