Hi all, I posted this a couple of days ago and haven't seen any replies yet. I am kind of deperate to get this solved. I have added a couple of additional pieces of information from a couple of things I tried since my first post.
The machine is a Blue and White G3 (400MZ)Server with 896 MB of RAM. It has 3 SCSI drives (one 9gb and two 18gb) and two 40gb firewire drives. There are no ata disk drives connected. I am able to boot from the CD holding down the "C" key and can boot up with a 2.4 kernel. I can't boot with the 2.2 kernel. I go through the initial installation procedures and when I get to Disk partioning I get the message: "No hard disk drives could be found and the network is configured. Please select "next" to mount the root file system via NFS." I switched to the alternate console and did a dmesg | grep scsi and found that only the MESH driver was loading. I tried to manually load the adaptec driver as a module and couldn't find it. The scsi controller is an adaptec ultra2-lvd/se. It came with the machine from Apple The information on the chip itself is Adaptec AIC-7890ab CQEC910 748411 BK1986.1 KOREA The drives are daisy chained together off the one card. I believe they are terminated correctly as they have worked fine in Mac OS for quite some time. It would seem I need to get scsi support for the adaptec controller loaded. How do I do that? I tried a modprobe and insmod on the adaptec driver (at a friend's suggestion who is quite experienced with Debian on Intel hardware) with no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
