Hi,
I am running (ahem.. *was* running, that is) 2.1.5R. Until very recently I
used an Adaptec 1542c on a 486DX50 VL board with a SCSI-2 disk without any
problems. Then, I upgraded to an EISA board (with some sort of 486@100)
and an Adaptec 1740 controlling a wide scsi disk through a wide->narrow
connector. It's switched to enhanced mode.

Now, I can boot the kernel (generic and custom), it will execute init and sh,
but when fsck (or anything else) is run and tries to read anything larger
than one block at a time and then wait for a while the controller switches on
its BUSY light and *stays* busy even through a soft-reboot.

Any help, anyone ?

Thanks
	Bernard
