As Lonni says, I *could* try a different distro.  But, I have the feeling 
tha Slack 9.0 really ought to work, if I only knew what I was doing 
wrong.  I am most intrigued by Ted's recollection that the aic7xxx 
module has changed and that I need to use an older version.  I looked 
at all the docs I could find on the 9.0 CD, but saw no mention of 
changes to this module.  Ted couldn't remember for sure what was the 
name of the older version and I have had no luck finding out on my 
own.  Any ideas what the name is and where it is to be found during 
installation?

Or, I could just use Slack 8.0, which works fine, but that would be too 
easy.  :-)
