(RH 6) on asus2b-s w/aic7xxx problem

[Marty Leisner]

I have similar hardware.

I have a single IBM Ultra-scsi and it worked with no problem.

Do you have a problem with 1 drive?  
Do you have any other scsi devices...
Do you have an IDE disk?  
(maybe boot off the ide disk?)

Do you have other hardware which conflicts with the scsi?
