We have a compaq proliant dl380 with an Integrated smart array controller and
a compaq DDS tape drive (compaq std-9000) and Im having trouble getting linux
to recognise the scsi bus and tape drive.
Infact we have 4 of these machines and two of them are running NT 4.0 so I can
get some data from these.
I have installed a Redhat 7.0 system with a 2.2.19 kernel that was compiled on
the machine by myself. Note that the 2.2.16 kernel that came with the system
did not detect the scsi adaptor or dds drive either. I ran "smartstart" before
installing as recommended on compaq's website - this seems to have made no
difference.
On boot the bios shows the DDS drive on "Port 1, ID6". Our NT systems have the
dds drive on target 0, scsi port 1, bus number 2.
When compiling the 2.2.19 kernel I said yes to:
Block devices:
Compaq SMART2 support (detected and working)
Scsi Support:
scsi support
scsi hard drive
scsi tape drive
Module support for Low level Scsi drivers:
AIC7xxx
generic NCR 5380/5380/53c400
simple 53c710
NCR53C8xx
NCR53C8xx
SYM53C8XX
Ive tried to load the modules with insmod and depmod with no sucess. Upgrading
to RH-7.1 is not an option at the moment.
Any hints for this please.
TIA
