How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

3.
	

Additional info:

The "noprobe" option might solve this problem. I do not yet the whole
installation steps with this option, but the "welcome message" came up when the
sym53c8xx kernel module was loaded for the installation kernel.

Comment 1 Noriho Tomita 2002-10-19 16:02:49 UTC 
The "noprobe" option solve this problem. I treid whole the installation steps 
without loading the sym53c8xx kernel module.
