Comments/Problems:
I initially tried to install using the boot option linux26. Up until the
detection of the hard drives the installer worked well. However, the SCSCI
controller, Adaptec AIC-7892P U160/m (rev 02) was not recognized and
consequently, no hard drives were detected. I only have 2 SCSI drives
connected to this controller. I then restarted the installer with boot
option linux.
Using a 2.4 kernel, the install went rather smoothly. I had several false
starts in setting up my LVM for both disks with / on my LVM. I set up a
separate /boot so that I could use grub.
I see that there are bug reports with kernel-image-2.6.8-1 and aic7xxx that
hopefully will be resolved soon.
The installer is very slick. Great work!
