Hi,
Apologies if this is not appropriate for this list (mailing here is suggested in the installation manual, but I may be doing something stupid, rather than being the vicitim of a bug - I tried debian-user and got the comment that the installer may not be loading the correct module - but how do I change that?) When I boot from CD (2.2r0) to install I am told (after configuring the keyboard) that no hard drives are present. This is not true - the machine has two SCSI disks hanging off a Symbios controller (sym53c8xx - 53c1010 ultra3). The machine came with Red Hat pre-installed (and it works!), so this hardware is supported by Gnu/Linux. How do I install Debian? Is this a bug? Is it fixed in some later release? I can still boot to Red Hat and have cable modem cnxn and CD writer, so could burn more up-to-date CDs if necessary (for example). Or can I install from Red Hat itself? Looking in various FAQs, nothing mentions Symbios, but another make with suspiciously smilar numbers (can't find the reference now) was supported with no boot paramateres. This is what is printed to the console: [...] scsi: <fdomain> Detection failed (no card) NCR53c406a: no available ports found sym53c416.c: Version 1.0.0 Failed initialization of WD-7000 SCSI card! IBM MCA SCSI: No microchannel-bus support present -> Aborting. megaraid: v107 (December 22, 1999) aec671x_detect: 3w-xxxx: tw_findcards(): No cards found. scsi : 0 hosts. scsi : detected total. [...] Note that I have a sym53c8xx, not a sym53c416 as appears above (unless they're the same). Any suggestions/help appreciated.
