kubuntu and scsi drives

[Mike Reinehr]

I ran into something like this last fall as I was setting up my new servers, 
which use Tyan Thunder Pro mb's. These mb's use the Adaptec AIC7902W SCSI 
chip which is supported by the I2O modules. Unfortunately, at the time, the 
I2O subsystem was not supported by the Debian installer (at least, not the 
AMD64 installer), so I had to jump through some hoops to bootstrap the 
installation. The SCSI drives just were not recognized and there were no I2O 
modules on the install CD to load, even manually.
