Thanks James,
Apparently the aic7xxx are SCSI drivers. My PowerCenter Pro has an
Adaptec UW SCSI card that came with the computer. I assume that the
Yellow Dog kernel doesn't support this card, hence the reason I'm using
the 2.4.23-pre5-ben0 kernel from ppckernel.org. I guess my efforts
will cease here if the YD kernel still doesn't support my SCSI card.
YD 2.3 used to work just fine.
