RE: [Mimedefang] OT: adaptec scsi card help with fedora
I recently had a problem, with RedHat8 and an adaptec SCSI card. In my case the system had been working for some time and suddenly began hanging, on boot, when it attempted to open the SCSI devices. I then found an RPM for aic7xxx Version 6.3.6, I was at Version 6.5.8, at http://people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux/RPM/ Downloaded and installed that RPM and my problem was solved. Of course, your mileage may vary. -- Larry G. Starr - [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Software Engineer: Full Compass Systems LTD.

RE: [Mimedefang] OT: adaptec scsi card help with fedora
I've heard terrible things about linux and these boards. I have a friend that tried exactly that but never could he get linux (he tried redhat 8&9 and suse 8.2&9) to install. Windows (ick) installed fine which is weird.

Problem is it's the Intel nightshade board. I've disabled the symbios scsi chip and got a pci Adaptec aha 2940uw card to replace it. Trouble is where fedora used to hang on the smybios driver install it now hangs on the Adaptec driver install aic 7xxx. I have tried the Linux dd install with a driver disk and the Linux noprobe, neither of which will recognize the disks when it gets to partition time. Can anyone give me some advice on solving this issue?

Ah, it's a known issue, but the workarounds aren't guaranteed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/long_list.cgi?buglist=107880 --Paul Heinlein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
