Yep, about the same happened here.

Indeed. I told that to the "authorities" too, as they kept repeating 
what kind of dummy I am, and at a given moment someone  told (_by 
accident_) there is a problem with the Adaptec cards. Then I knew 
enough  of course.
So, it's sad but true, they rather let us messing around than telling 
the truth.

So, whether they like it or not, I repeat it loud and clear: the eCS1.1 
installer has a problem with (Adaptec)scsi.

I'm not quite sure whether the autorities have already agknowledged the 
problem.

Yes, a shame it is.

Quite right.

No no. It is definitely an installer problem. Now the install has be 
done, you could reinstate sio2k manually without much of a problem.

Yes, that's what I did too.

Yes. Well, I  had it succeded like that.

Incidentally, I'm not speaking about _MY_ system but at someone's I'd to 
come in to the rescue.
