I'm trying to install Debian Linux with kernel 2.4.20 on a machine with an Adaptec 2400A RAID card with 3 40Gb IDE disks attached. The machine has no disks other than those connected to this card. I am able to boot the system, and the RAID card is recognised (as /dev/sda) but it cannot be accessed. I get these messages recorded by dmesg: SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 Loading Adaptec I20 RAID: Version 2.4 Build 5 Detecting Adaptec RAID controllers... Adaptec I20 RAID controller 0 at f8898000 size=100000 irq=11 dpti: If you have a lot of devices this could take a few minutes. dpti0: Reading the hardware resource table.
