You didn't mention what distribution you'd tried to install. If it has an IDE CD ROM you should be able to use one of the more modern installers like Mandrake or RedHat. Not sure of the state of other installers, but I'm pretty sure either Debian or SuSE has a good one, slackweare probably doesn't. As Brian said, you do have to tell the kernel what SCSI driver to use, but yours sounds pretty typical. --------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through tarcanfel's horde/imp system
