If you : order one today they will ship you a 1542CF. Call Adaptek at 1-800-959-7274. Their support sucks, but I think you should be able to get them to swap yournew CF for an older C. Toptek, who I bought my system from and complained to, did, and they will have a new old board for me later this week. But I'd really like to get *this* one working! I compiled a new kernel with scsi_debug = 1 and have some new information. During the install, this is what shows on the screen: Labeling disk...sdopen: dev=0xd03 (unit 0 (of 32),partition 3) nonexistent! disklabel: /dev/rsd0d: Device not configured done. Initializing root filesystem, and mounting... sdopen: dev=0xd00 (unit 0 (of 32),partition 0) nonexistent! newfs: /dev/rsd0a: Device not configured sdopen: dev=0x400 (unit 0 (of 32),partition 0) nonexistent! /dev/sd0a on /mnt: Device not configured [... and pretty much the same with the usr filesystem on partition 4...] I tried increasing the timeout in scsiconf.c, too, but that didn't seem to work. I'm certainly not a device driver kinda guuy, but I'm plugging at it.
