    FC2 is not detecting my hard drive on a 29160 scsi adapter. Can anyone
    help?

    I'm trying to install FC2 on a machine with only 1 hard drive that is
    off of a 29160. The AIC-7xxx driver is automatically loading and is
    finding my adapter (I can see this by hitting <F4> while module is
    loading. However, my disk drive is not found. When I get to
    automatically partitioning, I get "no drives found". I had no problems
    installing and running redhat 9.0 previously on this machine. I also
    tried FC3-test1 but it has the same problem.

    When I hit <F4> while AIC-7XXX module is loading, I get many (at least
    20) of the following message pairs:

            <4>scsi0: Unexpected busfree while idle
            <4>SEQADDR == 0x1

    I'm running on a dual P3 400MHz with a 440MX chipset.

    I've tried using "linux noprobe" and "linux apic" and "linux noprobe
    apic" to do the installation without any effect. When I specify
    noprobe, I have to choose a driver to get AIC-7XXX support. At this
    point, I have attempted to use various module parameters such as
    "extended", "no_reset", and "no_probe" (not really knowing what the do)
    but when I specify any options, the module does not load. I also tried
    to use a redhat 9.0 driver disk and was not surprised when it didn't
    work since it is for the wrong kernel. I'd like to try a driver disk
    compiled from a 2.6 kernel but haven't been able to find one.
