Re: consensus on stuff left to be fixed in slink
I looked up the bug report:
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/34/34328.html
In there it said something like:

I resently did an install on an Transtac box, with a double aic7xxx
something on the motherboard.
The 2.0.36 kernel based resc.disc did fail like that, but when I put a
vanilla 2.2.4 kernel on the resc.disc it did succed and I could finish the
install.
Also the SuSE made kernel based on 2.0.36 also worked.
So whatever didn't work on 2.0.36 is fixed with 2.2.4 for this
motherboard, and also SuSE made something work for 2.0.36.
I found a patch on
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/kernels/people/alan/2.0.37pre/2.0.37/2.0.37-pre-patch-3.gz
It gives an working kernel, but I don't know if it solves the problem.
Cheers,
