Off hand, I'd say that the chosen SCSI driver was not what you need for
your adapter.

I suspect this means you did not change the SCSI adapter selection or
settings. Correct?
What you need to boot is review the logs, as discussed in the manual and
figure out why the wrong SCSI driver was installed.

Again the logs will tell you what NIC was installed. Of course, you might
just have a DHCP setup problem.

I don't think it's the SCSI driver selection. The installer correctly spotted my Adaptec 29160 and the correct driver for that. I've been using that adaptec type for years and I know what driver it uses. Also, the ECS 1.1 installer correctly spotted and installed my SCSI a couple of years ago.
I'll have to get back to the ECS install in a couple of days and look at the logs. Thanks for your help!
