Sounds like kernel panic !

Are you using the vanilla flavor? Have you tried the 'compact'
flavor?
You'll have to file a bug against kernel-image-2.2.17-compact if that
doesn't work. Hmmm. You need the CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_ISP defined in
your kernel. I'm not sure if that's included.... perhaps not.
Hope he can do something about it. There are always limitations to
all the cards we can support on i386. Another alternative may be to
replace the kernel -- see the Installation Manual for some notes about
that.
