 to install.Regards,Irfan MominORacle Applications DBAvallabh darole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:    hi    i am vallabh.Working with Allied Digital Service.

If it work that mean you hdd is ok. connect the RAID card.vallabhsachin waingankar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:      hi guys! sachin here,  well i m installin linux on IBM x346 model eserver the with 140GB
 HDD (3 Hard disks) & 4GB RAM with Raid Adapter (IBM Server Raid),   problem is that while installing linux, before anaconda starts it detects my hdd as scsi hdd and after selecting all my required packages and then when i say install it says hdd not found (the server is new-box pack),  my guess is that maybe linux is not able to detect my hdd because of latest raid card or new scsi hdd, so i tried to install linux by linux dd command by introducing an driver disk but that did not work.  so can anyone help wid dis installation i feel strongly about my guess or for that purpose help wid any support software.  thanks   sachin waingankar      Enjoy this Diwali with Y!
