Hai; Check the maillistarchive; I posted something on this yesterday (if it arrived). I bumped in to that as well. Try google with: proliant 370 linux install By messing arround, you must be able to find wich bootmessage to give to the kernel. Mine looks like#boot: linux(image'compact'rescuediskette) smart2=0x6000 sim710=addr:0x8000,irq:15
You should know where your array is in terms of basememory adress. On the proliant I have, it's the EISAslot number. i.e.: 6; basememory adress=0x6000 What kind of arraycontroller you need to fill in, I don't know. But this must get you started. When you install LILO; DON'T install it in MBR! (another compraq got me on that one). Make the compraq partition bootable (/dev/ida/c0d0p3) and install LILO on you rootpartition(/dev/ida/c0d0p1). Then add to LILO the alternative of F10 and it's location. And add what you did to show the kernel where to look for the array, to append='here is the array and onboard you bastard' run lilo and you should be off. (of course this info is as is. warranty void if used) Thanks Frans Schreuder On Mon, 16 Jul 2001 09:20:02 Dieter Schicker wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm trying to install Debian 2.2r2 (Kernel > 2.2.18pre21) on a Compaq Proliant ML370 with a > Compaq Smart Array 431 - Controller and 2 (mirrored) > scsi-disks from CDROM. > Problem: The installation routine doesn't _see_ any > hard disks. > > I have already installed Debian on some PCs with > IDE-Disks - no problem. > > But now I'm at the end of my wits.
