I have a solid piece of hardware named Compaq. It's a rack mounted machine with an astonishing P-200 processor and 4 SCSI disks. I tried with several distributions, but all failed. Finally I managed to install a debian 3.0 on it. It runs a ftp/http server. Everything is ok.
But some time ago I discovered Gentoo and I replaced my desktop distribution from RH to G1.4. I'm happy with that. I would like to have Gentoo also on the server, just to manage a single distribution. I tried several times installing it, but always failed. I also tried with the (gentoo based) Rescue CD 0.2.9 (www.sysresccd.org) which works great on other machines, but no luck. Now I don't know how to proceed. I included a part of the booting process where the SCSI driver is mentioned. Can somebody help? Regards, Goran
