I always run into problems with the install. I got it as far as the booting of the live cd (athlon-xp 1.4), but then it tries to detect scsi!

First message is: "beginning storage detection"
Then comes: "scanning for aic7xxx...", followed by "detected aic7xxx hardware"
Last is: "scanning for aic7xxx_old..." and then it just hangs. I see from the cdrom lights, that there is a regular scsi reset going on, but that's it.

Booted with: smp-apci doscsi dokeymap

If I do not use -acpi, I never even get that far. Without doscsi, I get the prompt, but it has not found and drives or cd's (surprise) and the keymap is really handy.

System:
Tyan S2460 biod 1.05
2x XP1600+
1GB reg ddr
nvidia MX400
adaptec aha39160
channel A: id2 30GB ibm, id4 teac cdrom, id5 yamaha cdrw (slow devices)
RME digi96/8 soundcard
AMD PCnet ethernet card
channel B: id5 36GB ibm, id6 18GB ibm (both U160)

Try booting the LiveCD without "doscsi", then load your SCSI module manually. Look at this thread for details :
