Well, I though it could be the SCSI drivers too, I am running a Tekram
DC-390U SCSI controller. I selected (what I thought was) the appropriate
driver (Symbios 53C875) when doing the config.
I have a feeling that the dpkg -i failed ... my fault.
The box had been upgraded and downgraded a couple times, so I think I'll do
a fresh install (fast connection at work:) since it is my "test" box.
Cheers,
Rob
