3. Apparently you can fetch a BIOS upgrade for the AHA-1542 from Adaptec's Web 
site.  One of our sysadmins here reports that this enabled him to run Linuxm 
with no problems.  You'll need a prom burner and access to:
     http://www.adaptec.com/techsupp/bbs_eprm.htm

If I try this myself I'll report what happens.
