I'm trying to install Debian Ver. 2.1 (I'm a first timer with
Debian.) I changed the bios to boot from the CD and everything seems
to proceed correctly until it gets to the following:
aha152x: BIOS test: passed, auto configuration ok, detected 1
controller(s)
aha152x0: vital data: PORTBASE=0x340, IRQ=12, SCSI ID=7,
reconnect=enabled, parity=enabled, synchronous=disabled, delay=100,
extended translation=disabled
aha152x: trying software interrupt, ok.
Failed initialization of WD-7000 SCSI card!
scsi0: Adaptec 152x SCSI driver: $Revision $
scsi : 1 host.
Vendor MICROP Model 1578-15 UP Rev: DG02
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revison: 01 CCS
Detected scsi disk sda at scsi 0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
scsi0 : channel 0 target 0 lun 1 request sense failed, performing reset.
scsi bus is being reset for host 0, channel 0.
At this point, the process hangs and I have to reboot. I tried some
alternate boot arguments as per the Install Help screen and per the scsi
Howto but no success. Maybe I had the syntax wrong because I couldn't even
continue the boot. It kept coming back with an error "unable to find boot
image"
The actual device is an old (and I mean old) combination QIC tape drive with
a small hard drive that I don't even . The thing is, Red Hat, Caldera and
SuSE all have no problem detecting this thing properly.
Do you folks have any ideas? What is the proper form of a boot argumant in
Debian? Where is the message about a "WD-7000 SCSI card" coming from? I've
not seen that on any other install.
TIA for any tips you can provide

We believe that the bug you reported has been fixed in the potato
boot-floppies, such as version 2.2.8 or higher.
Note that many boot problems are fixed in 2.2.8 since they use the 2.2
kernels. There are many additional flavors of kernels for i386 as
well.
In some cases, bugs are closed due to lack of feedback from the user.
Many problems are also fixed by the inclusion of new packages from
Potato, such as makedev, modconf, etc.
The management of the boot sector has also changed, which solves many
problems.
We encourage you to test the potato boot-floppies on your system. If
your problem persists, please either respond to debian-boot and CC
your original bug and we will reopen the bug, or else submit a new bug
against the boot-floppies package.
Thanks so much for helping to improve the debian installation system.
