Could you pipe the output into a file or do a strace ? Are we talking about the normal scsi card itself or does your S4882 has the "credit card sized raid card" (S2015S) installed ? Best regards Nils Valentin Tokyo / Japan http;//www.be-known-online.com Good idea... I installed le scsi module by hand: modprobe mptscsi... and it works: I can see (dmesg) the two hard disks attached. Then, I go back to the installation menu; I skip the "material detection"; I go to "disk partitioning"... it freezes. Best regards! t.d. -- Thierry Dumont.

I am just asking cause I am running Tyans K8S Pro (S2882) with the Adaptec 7902W happily ever after ;-) (5 machines of them) I have a S4882 Tyan, and the scsi adapter is a NCR (NCR like ?), that is to say that I load the mptscsih driver... yoours t.d. -- Thierry Dumont.

Installation problem with tyan mainboard
I cannot install debian-amd64 on my Tyan based machine. This problem looks like a previous one, posted here some weeks ago. PROBLEM: instalation "freeze" after loading the scsi driver. BUT: actually, I have succeded one installation (3 weeks ago); after upgrading the system (and the kernel) some days ago, I could not reboot. So, I decided to reinstall...When the system whas working (before I upgraded it), it was also difficult to reboot the machine, with a lot of "retry" of the scsi driver during the boot sequence. MATERIAL: Tyan S4882 with 4 processors, Bradcom NetxTrem network adapter, NCR-like scsi controller; 8 Gb of ram, 2 scsi (73gb) discs. DESCRIPTION OF INSTALLATION SEQUENCE: - I use: "sid-amd64-netinst.iso26-Oct-2004 05:56" - boot options: expert sym53c8xx=safe:y 1) after the 1rst detection of material, I load only: tg3, generic-ide, ide-generic, ide-cd, isofs; then I can configure the network (static adress, not dhcp), and it works. 2) I choose the mirror: debian.inode.at and /pure64/ unstable distribution 4) I load mptscsih and here, the machine freezes. any idea ? -- Thierry Dumont.
