Hi There, I'm trying to install RedHat6.0 on a new system (PIII 500, gigabyte GA-BX2000). The disks are both LVD U2W (IBM Ultrastars), they are attached to the U2W port on the card with a cable supplied in the 2940U2W kit (with termination attached), having SCSI ID' of 0 and 1. The eide CDROM is on the Primary IDE slave. SCSI bios has been set to boot from 0 Anyhow on boot the SCSI bios is loaded and both the disks are recognised (I have tried this also with the SCSI adapter rates reduced to 20Mb/sec). The Redhat install works through the initial stages of the install. Then depending on what I have connected the following happens: 1) If I also have the HP DAT DDS-3 connected to the SCSI card using the 50pin connection SCSI ID = 4, then the install hangs whilst searching the SCSI bus (you need to reboot). 2) If only the two disks are connected, the install makes it past the SCSI bus search, recoginises the 2940 card, but then in the next stage suggests that there are no hard drives setup on the system. So you have nowhere to install a system and also have to reboot. So I could go down the 'add initially an EIDE drive get things going and then get the SCSI running after a kernel rebuild'. But I wondered if anyone knew of any problems with the U2W (I've had no problems with a system set up using a 2940 W card previously). Or if using the 6.1 system may solve this install issue, cheers, Jim ======================================================================== Jim Freer Dept. of Environmental Sciences (Room A29a) Lancaster University Bailrigg Lancaster, LANCS LA1 4YQ UK Tel +44 1524 593975 Fax +44 1524 593985 ======================================================================== - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
