i recompiled the kernel and it panics, thinking that i have two scsi host adapters, which i don't. my hardware: VS440FX intel motherboard, adaptec 2940 ultra wide scsi host adapter, 4gb hd, toshiba cdrom, microsoft ps/2 mouse, stealth 64 graphics card, 3com 3c509b-tpo etherlink III card, 64 mb ram. hoping that it helps, here's my kernel-build config file: #
