I'm been trying very unsuccessfully to load FC3 on a brand new

after the media check. Then the screen shows a bunch of:
"SELinux: initialized (dev ..."
messages and a box that reads:
"| Loading SCSI driver | Loading aic79xx driver..."
This box never goes away. I read on another list something about
disabling HostRaid in the SCSI Bios as a possible solution. I looked
around in the SCSI Bios and what I found didn't match the
documentation from adaptec
(
http://download.adaptec.com/pdfs/user_guides/ULTRA320_UG_EN.PDF).
I've deleted all the arrays, but it doesn't seem to have helped.
Can anyone help?
Turned up your message looking for solutions to my problem. Don't know
how much help this may be, symptoms seem to be different, but just got a
system repaired under warranty by the vendor. The original Tyan Thunder
K7 MB with integrated Adaptec SCSI was not available so they replaced it
with a Tyan K7x Pro 2469GN and an Adaptec 39320A-R card. When I
couldn't install FC2 or FC3 (FC2 wouldn't load the module, FC3 loaded it
manually when forced but didn't see any drives) contacted the tech who
installed the board. Here's the advice I got:
Yes, it was tested with the existing disk in the system. You may
have
to compile the driver from scratch - the source code is available from
Adaptec.

Currently installing on an IDE drive so I can try the above. Meanwhile
still searching - haven't hit Bugzilla or Google very hard yet. Will
follow up if I achieve enlightenment.
