Hello Phil,

Thanks for the link. I quickly tried it out, i.e. I copied both
the <resc1440.bin> as well as <drv1440.bin> from this location.

Again I used it both with the default as well as with the boot 
parameter 'linux aic7xxx=no_reset' BUT encountered the same problem !

Any other ideas ?

Kind regards,

	Viktor Ransmayr
