Which specific Adaptec chipset are you using? The 7880? I have a 2940UW PCI card and I
never bothered to enter any settings related to it in lilo.conf because during bootup
I get messages about it being set to 20MHz in Wide 16-bit mode, so I'm getting UW mode
automatically. Does that setting make the SCSI part of the bootup faster? The SCSI
part is the only part of my bootup that isn't lightening fast right now. I've thought
of playing with the kernel compile option to lower the wait count from 5 seconds, but
thought maybe that's not such a hot idea.
