I just built a new system, which happens to be 100%
SCSI (something I have never attempted before, apparently with good
reason!). The bios recognizes both 18GB drives as well as the scsi
cdrom. It boots the install cd, starts the installation, recognizes the
aic 2940/7980, continues, and then barfs when it wants to create
filesystems, complaining that there are no valid devices found. Any
idea why it might not see the hard drives? Both drives are on the
lvd/scsi2 channel and the cd and tape are on the legacy fast/wide
channel. Any help would be appreciated... I checked the archives and
everyone else seems to be having problems loading drivers or problems
booting successful installations. I get past the first problem, but die
before the second. I wish I could get that far...
Sorry about the typing. I am recovering from carpal tunnel and learning
dvorak at the same time.
