Some of the biege Macs had 2 SCSI buses, one internal, one external. The internal uses the mesh driver (the controller chip reports MESH), and the external bus uses a NCR 53c94 or NCR 56c96 chip, so a different driver is needed. If you run SCSI Probe 5.2 under Mac OS it shows the chip ID in the SCSI buses drop down menu. To see a internal CD-ROM drive you need to load the MESH driver, and to see a external hard drive you need the mac53c94 driver. You may need both, depending on your configuration. Is there a menu option to open a xterm so you can poke around while the install is in progress? Can you hit Alt-F2 (or F3, etc) during the install and see any logging? If you use the text install you can switch to other virtual terminals to help debug the installation (another reason I like the text install over the X Window GUI install). -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
