Re: Problems installing with Promise Uttra33 (hde & hdg)



I've only been on the list for a few days, and m a newbie ... sorry 'bout
borrowing the thread, but it is my understanding that you'll be posting a
new boot-floppies with a patched kernal for adaptec?  I'm currently stuck
(unable to install or do anything but read this thread - which I do find
enlightening) waiting for some news to pop up about that patch.
