Hi all,


I am fighting the following hardware:

MB: ASUS p5b-plus (NON vista edition)
Cpu: Core 2 duo 4600
SCSI Card: Adaptec 39320 (Unused Dell OEM bought from ebay)
HDDs: 2xSeagate Cheetah 73.4 GB Ultra320 SCSI (posibly Dell OEM)

Nb. The MB does not support PCI-X, but is backwards compatible to a 
standard PCI slot. On recommendations I have limited the throughput on 
the channels to 160mb.

If you think any other pieces relevant let me know.


 I think this is probably just an issue with my not knowing wtf I'm 
doing, but to be optimistic lets assume the ahd module worked as there 
are no errors in dmesg; which device do I install to? I can not see see 
ahd0 in fdisk.

 There are alot of posts over the years reporting trouble with the 
Dell(Adaptec/Seagate) combiniation. The funny thing is that I am having 
none of these troubles; There are no panics, no dumps and no lengthy 
pauses. It all seems fine, until I try to select the disk to install to 
and I only have da0 or da1.



Thanks for your time
