My problem is getting partitioned the SCSI drive I have.
My computer is Gateway-2000 which has a SCSI drive SEAGATE ST32155W.
I started with Red-hat.5.1 CD to install Linux.
First it started as usual and I answered questions it asked. Then it came to
a point to auto probe the SCSI and it scanned and identified as
Adaptec 2740, 2840, 2940. Then i needed to do partition /dev/sda drive.
When I chose the fdisk and it gave me an message called Input/Output error.
Beyond that point I can't move. I appreciate any help I can do partition
/dev/sda from RED-HAT.
===============================
After that I tried with slack-ware.3.4. In that case I chose the boot disk
Seagate.s for booting. As the documents say I get message SCSI: 0 hosts.
which means SCSI controller was not detected.
In the documents "booting linux" says I have to give special parameters at
the boot prompt to force hardware detection.
it should be ramdisk st0x= <memaddr>,irq
My question is, how do I find this memaddress and IRQ for this drive.
Any help?.
