| really? i havent had that problem
I have found out that the problem is not IDEFix itself. The same thing occurs
every time I try to mount a removed device. I first experienced this after
removing all my SCSI-devices without removing the entries from devs:
The CVision output then gets very dark, almost black. The same happens when
IDEFix mounts wrong/nonexisting devices.

I'm close to have a working Debian system on my Amiga. X is still not working
properly, and I need to compile a new kernel with PPP support etc.
I would love to help. I have some limited C experience, however I don't think
I'm able to write the stuff myself. I have some Linux experience on
IBM-compatibles too. I would be happy to test drivers and give feedback.
BTW; Who made the support for the Blizzard SCSI-controller? It can't be that
different?
