- I had problems with getting the GA 2.0 code to work with my AHA-1542B --
- the install worked fine until the final reboot; upon reboot the system
- consistently crashed. The work-around I found was to just install the SP
- CSD to the system (you don't need to boot the system to install the SP --
- it boots itself from floppy).
-
- Works fine now.
-
- Might solve your problem, too.
