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,

PS: it hangs while loading aic78xxx
