I have some happy news for all you out there using an EISA bus PC with
a Mylex EICS SCSI controller (probably just me).  This also applies to
all you with a SCSI controller that emulates IDE or ST-506.

Linux works with these drives!  I am going to see if I can slink some 
sample code from the Mylex people to include in my kernel to enable
things like hardware caching and 32-bit mode, but as it is, the drive
works.

I am not out of trouble yet, though.  I found out that my Mylex emulates
IDE the hard way:  I installed an IDE to coexist, and the combination trashed
my drive.  Bummer.  After the dust cleared, however, I had a drive that
was partitioned better and uses the controller features better under DOS and
OS/2.

Then, while trying to install Linux, to my dismay -- Minix no longer boots.
No matter what I do, on any disk I might try, I always get 'root filesystem
corrupted' and panic stop from the minix kernel on startup.  Anyone have
any clues?  This setup worked before... All I chaanged was the partition table.

Has anyone created a linux mkfs?

Thanks, 
-Dave
