problem with SCSI controller
Folks,
I am setting up a new debian 1.1 box.
On booting:
>
> [...]
> Started kswap v 1.4.2.2
> FDC 0 is a National Semiconductor PC87306
> NCR53c406a: no available ports found
> PPA: unable to initialise controller at 0x378, error 2
> scsi: 0 hosts
> scsi: detected total

which leads to the hard disk not being recongised. We can not proceed
with any installation.
From our Windows95 system setup I get:
> Hard Disk: FUJITSU M2934S-512
> Hard Disk Controllers: Intel PIIX Bus Mastering PCI IDE controller
> Primary IDE controller (dual fifo)
> Secondary IDE controller (dual fifo)
> Standard IDE/ESDI HD controller
> SCSI controllers: PCI NCR C815 SCSI Host Adapter

So we need a kernel that supports NCR53c815, do we? Is such a
kernel awailable from a development version? I have seen the
discussion in June 1996 on the list about NCR53c6x and I think
I could use the advice given there to change the kernel on
the boot disk, but I do not know where to get the kernel from
that would support the controler.
