- Well, all I know is that Linux didn't like my 486/33 EISA system with
- DTC 3290HD SCSI controller, which is supposed to be Adaptec 1542
- compatible. It seemed to detect the controller and read the partition
- table properly when the bootimage was coming up, but then efdisk
- failed with an error when it tried to open /dev/hda. I don't know if
- this is a general problem with EISA or just my controller.
