Re: Install problem - Locks up during boot off of rescue disk
The problem is a conflict between the aic7xxx driver for the 2940 card
and the other SCSI drivers on the standard rescue disk.
See http://www.debian.org/~adric/aic7xxx/slink/5.1.15/
for a set of install rescue and driver disks which should get you over
the hump.
