Subj: SCSI bootdisk or insmod???
Hi everybody!! I've been trying to install linux (RedHat 4.2) to a
new server, PC Pentium 133, 32M, SCSI Adaptec 2920 and 2G Quantum.
>>>I'm unfamiliar with the 2920 and 18C30 one important question is
>>>do they contain a BIOS???.
The problem is linux can't detect the scsi card ( IO=0x6100 IRQ=9
on /proc/pci, also SCSI storage controller= Future Domain TMC-18C30 ) so
i've been using the fdomain module, and failed.
>>>Within RH42 install after SCSI-cards=Yes, select aha2920[I assume this is
>>>the name] and if it has BIOS request autoprobe. If no BIOS dont
>>>autoprobe and use a reply like "aha2920=0x6100,9"
>>>It should then find it... 6100 looks like a funny number...
The Questions are:
1) Can i make a bootdisk ( installation for redhat ) so that i can
modify the scsi.c or fdomain.c module to autodetect my card???
2) Instead, how can i pass the io and irq to the module with
insmod or when you specify the options in RH install??
3) Last one, will i be able to install RH to my server or shall i
quit???
4) Suggestions????
Thanx.
Juan Andres
