hi,
I am planing to buy a larger box to run linux. I decided to buy a P5 with
local bus using the AHA 1542 CF SCSII-II Controller. Does someone know if this
'configuration' is supported by the kernel or else (people who wrote drivers
to get this working ...).

Thanx in advance

You should have no problems except for the possible >1Gb problems
explained in the SCSI FAQ if your hd is >1 Gb. If your local bus is vesa,
you might want to consider one of the vlb hard drive controllers that are
1542 compatible (unless you already have the 1542) because the price
difference is only about $60.

The 1542CF works great in my Box (the newer modells come with SCSI-2 and
FAST-SCSI !!!). If you use a big HD turn all the options (exept the device
scanning) off.
