Re: COL Workstation 3.1.1
Truly weird. I've done quite a few good Workstation 3.1.1 installs. Once, I got a bad copy and it looked fine but kept failing during the install. Check your ISO image against the MD5 sums and then reburn it...

Re: COL Workstation 3.1.1
I had no problem with the COL 3.1 cd I bought. For the same machine, the 3.1.1. image (burnt with Nero) aborted after finding the installation source. It's an Asus TUSL2-C motherboard. Strange... I have to suspect that something else is wrong. I've installed quite a few 3.1.1 WS systems without problems or registration at the time of install. -- Swiftly. Silently. Invisibly. .~.

Re: COL Workstation 3.1.1
I couldn't reach that stage. it died right after detection of installation source. I did it make it through on the old i440BX motherboard. hmm.

It gets through the first CD, then hangs on the SCSI bus with timeouts, and won't finish the installation. I've installed 3.1.1 WS, Mandrake 8.2 and 9.0, and SCO 4.0 Linux from UnitedLinux successfully on this same hardware (purchased CDs on everything except the Mandrake 9.0).

Re: COL Workstation 3.1.1
I hope it's just a BIOS seting problem, not some tricks on the part of SCO. hmm... the 3.1.1. installed on the i440BX baord, but not this newer i815ep board. really puzzling...

The SuSE web site had something blaming the Host adapters, and recommended a boot command restricting the SCSI drivers from scanning multiple LUNs. I'll try reinstalling after doing some tuning of the Adaptec settings to restrict LUN scanning. I have to think this is a SuSE problem since other versions of Linux work fine running 2.4.xx kernels including SCO 4.0 which is also UnitedLinux.

Some Adaptec SCSI cards do not work with the new AIC7xxx driver that is included in SuSE. I recently found out that Adaptec 29160 cards are among the cards that do not like the new AIC7xxx driver. The solution is to boot off the DVD then select manual installation, answer a couple of screens and then you will get to a menu where you can select the modules. Go to SCSI cards then de-select new AIC7xxx and select old AIC7xxx. The installer asks for parameters for the new driver, but I just hit enter. Then continue with the install. After this change to modules the installation was as quick as any other install. HTH -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?
