Well, our group too got a new Dell P-II Workstation (Precision WS 410)
last week. I was supposed to install Linux on it when I realised that the
U2W controller (rather AIC-7890 chipset) is unsupported under Linux!
Luckily, Doug Ledford, the person heading the development of Adaptec
drivers, has promised a beta version of drivers supporting U2W by today
evening. You can check out his FTP site:
ftp://ftp.dialnet.net/pub/linux/aic7xxx/
for the latest drivers sometime tomorrow. I am sure hoping the drivers
will work on my system (fingers crossed). Will let you know when I have
a functional Linux system without changing any h/w.
