I have an older machine here with the same

besides you end up with a 2.4 kernel instead
of a 2.2."
 
Thanks.  Made that set of diskettes and tried 
them.  The SCSI drive is not recognized.
/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21/
images-1.44/bf2.4/kernel-config has no comments explaining
the format but contains this line.

CONFIG_SCSI_AHA1542=m

Can anyone report the meaning of the "m"?  Appears that
support for the AHA1542 is absent.

These options remain.
1. Remove the AHA-1542 and forget about using 
SCSI.  Connect an ATA drive to the on-board controller
and try to install Woody there.
2. Replace the main board with a Pentium.
3. Try to install "testing".

Thanks,          Peter E.
