Problem with adaptec SCSI card

[Romeyn Prescott]

I have received no response to this post either here on the mailing 
list nor on several locations on the forums.  I suspect (fear?) that 
I'm the only person encountering this problem.

I am still desirous of having my boot volume be a SCSI drive, so I 
installed Ubuntu to an IDE drive without the SCSI card installed.  I 
then installed the SCSI card and Ubuntu recognized it...aic7xxx was 
listed in 'lsmod'.  I dd'd the IDE drive to the SCSI drive and I 
suppose if I decide to pursue this, I'll have to hack around in Open 
Firmware/yaboot to get it booting from the SCSI drive.

Does anyone know if Hoary's CD will use a different aic7xxx module or 
if, at least, the installer won't hang if a SCSI card is present?

Thanks,
...ROMeyn
