Try typing "linux sym53c8xx=safe:y".

Prosignia VS

[Marcel Verdonk]

Hi,

 

I’m trying to install Debian Linux on a Compaq
Prosignia VS. I cannot find any info on the Compaq Site on installing Linux in
any flavor in this kind of machine.

 

I get trough the boot proces pretty easily until a
partition needs to be made and the system finds out it cannot find the HDD.

Probably it doesn’t recognize the SCSI-controller.

 

The only clue I can find inside the system is a chip
with NCR printed on it.

 

I’ve tried to use the boot-argument for an NCR-based
SCSI controller : “sym53c8xx=safe:y”

However without any result. I get an error “Could not
find kernel image: sym53c8x.x=s”

 

Can anybody help me? In my opinion it’s a shame to
throw away this server while it still is good enough for Linux.

 

If you need any additional information about the
machine, let me know.

 

Best regards

 

Marcel Verdonk
