Hello everyone, I've got a problem installing Gentoo on an HP NetServer LH6000. It has an Adaptec RAID AIC78xx Controller.
When i boot with a LiveCD and put doscsi to the kernel's command line at boot time, it tries to load 3 kernel modules: sym53c8xx, aic78xxx and scsi_transport_spi, but hangs in the process of loading, and i have to reboot. I've managed to start the LiveCd without SCSI detection and it loads OK. But then, then, i modprobe those modules, they load, but i still can't see the RAID disks. (no scsi devices in /dev) The weird thing is that i tried installing a RedHat 9 just to see if it was capable of seeing the RAID devices. it turns out that RedHat sees the RAID devices loading exactly the same modules i tried to load with Gentoo -> sym53c8xx and aic78xxx. Any ideas on this? does anyone have cross with a similar problem? Any clues will be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot, Jesus Rivero Neurogeek PS: it hangs while loading aic78xxx -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
