I ask my friend to test this image. His system can not boot up
with current boot disk.
The result is OK, that he told me.
Used boot disk: resc1440.bin-only-aic7xxx
His system: Gateway G6-266 Pentium II 266MHz (ChipSet 440FX)
with 64MB memory
SCSI controler: AHA-2940UW (Gateway Edition, AIC-78xx SCSI Protocol Chip)
# he said that he does not know what "xx" means in AIC-78xx.
With current boot disk, the boot up process hangs up at the message
(scsi0) Downloading sequencer code... 419 instructions downloaded
With bin-only-aic7xxx the boot up process continues and detects
the AHA-294x at the next of the above line (he checked it by dmesg),
and the detected messages for CD-R, MO (Magneto Optical), HDD are
all correct.
