Ok, then the physical things works. What kernel do the redhat 5.2 have? Do you boot from floppy or cdrom? What scsi board/chips do you have?
You could try this one: cp vmlinuz-2.0.36-only-aic7xxx /dev/fd0 and try to boot (the kernel) with that. If you can boot with it the problem might be with syslinux, if not the problem lies in the kernel (good floppies & drives assumed) To my mind comes two possible causes RedHat has a initrd setup, would it work if aic7xxx was loaded as a module this kernel probes all lun's, would it work if we remove that Hear you, /Karl (Will not read more mail today) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karl Hammar Aspö Data [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lilla Aspö 2340 +46 173 140 57 S-742 94 Östhammar Professional Linux Solutions Sweden +46 70 511 97 84 (mobile) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Thu, 19 Aug 1999, John Cuson wrote: > karl & adam- > > the adapter seems to function with no problem at all using the redhat 5.2 > installation. i have an older 4 cd tower that i've connected to the external > connector and the system is apparently recognizing all 4 cd's as well as the > internal drive. the internal drive has been formatted and the system is > being installed from one of the cd's in the tower. > > John Cuson > [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > "Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have > others." > -- Groucho Marx > > > > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
