Re: Adaptec 2010s boot failure

Hi Nick,

I had that same card, and it gave me countless problems and headaches.
One thing that I can remember for sure, is that I *never* managed to
get anything to boot of any disk that was connected to the card. I
don't know if I was doing somethingh wrong, but given the amount of
times I have done this sort of thing it is unlikely.

Also I remember having to pass the IRQ and the I/O of the card to the
module with insmod, but it sounds like you have done that since you
are installing fine.

Therefore it is my guess that this is not a bootable card. May I
suggest a small IDE disk for the /boot ?
