The RH 6.1 installer refuses to install LILO on a SCSI HD on an
Adaptec AIC-2940, using module aic7xxx, where older installers of RH
and other versions of Linux succeed.

This install is done using a HP Vectra XA PPro 200 mhz with 80 mb ram,
Matrox 2mb MGA video card,AMD PCNet 32 10/100 ethernet, NE2k clone ISA
card, IDE CD-ROM, IBM P200 monitor, PS/2 mouse/Kbd., and SB16 sound card.

This error occurs on all install types, with as many or as little packages
installed as I want, with linear option set or unset on the installer.
The installation is coming off of mirror ftp2.3dgamers.com, with boot
disks made from there.  Sometimes the installer will install totally
normally, and everything will be fine until you reboot the machine, and at
other times the install will exit abnormally.  The LILO prompt will
display just LI, and then the machine will hang.  I managed to get the OS
installed by booting off of a RH 5.2 boot disk set for this system, and
running the lilo command at the prompt.  Then, LILO works normally.
Upgrading an existing RH6.1 installation is also nonfunctional.  LILO
doesn't work right there, either.

My system is functional, but if I was a newbie and encountered this bug, I
would put my RH6.1 CD into the clay pigeon thrower, and point it at the
local LUG.  When it was 5 feet from the group, then I would use the
shotgun....
