Being a Linux fan, I bought myself a new computer to run it but I
can't make it run Linux.   Win95 runs quite happily.    Setup is:

Asus P55T2P4 rev 2.1
PCI-SC200 
32 Mb
Seagate ST51080N (SCSI)

When I run the Linux installation boot floppy it says:

Unknown PCI device (8086:1250)
Unknown PCI device (8086:7000)
Unknown PCI device (8086:7010)

so it can't find my SC200 leave alone the hard drive.  There is no
third device on the bus.

I have tried RedHat and Debian with kernels 1.3.95 and 1.3.100

Is there some trick to this?  Any boot parameters that I can feed in?

About the only thing that I had to guess on the install was the jumper
setting on the Seagate - I set it to 'Power to drive terminator only.'

All help much appreciated.  I would even like to hear from someone who
_has_  made it work.
