The slackware install kernel always looks for SCSI devices. It's built
into most of the default kernels. That shouldn't interfere with the
install, though. If you want, you can recompile the kernel later with
no SCSI support for a slightly faster OS. Sorry, I can help with the
root disk problem. Does your system conform to the min. memory and
processor requirements? I had a similar problem with redhat once. It
was 'cause I didn't have enough RAM. Hope that helps.
