As a complete beginer regarding Linux I tried an installation with the boot
image ( 0.97 ) from nic.funet.fi. My configuration is as follows:
Nokia m356 ( once Finnish now ICL)
33MHZ 386
Adaptec 1542b SCSI controller
110 MB disk
12 MB memory
After generating the boot diskett and booting, the kernel loaded with the 
following pertinent messages:
Unexpected HD IRQ
Three times
Adaptec 15421 detected  ( maybe not exactly that)
Unexpected HD IRQ 
I have read through the FAQ, ftp'ed some info from Colorado and looked at 
the Info at MCC. My guesses are that I have to change the IRQ of the SCSI
controller from the factory setting ( YUK no info about the SCSI card from
Nokia). Any useful information would be much aprechiated.
