I have a PC build around the motherboard ASUS P2B-L/P2B-S/P2B-LS with the SCSI
interface based on the chipset Adaptec AIC-7890. The BIOS reports the address D
000-D0ff
and the IRQ9 for the adapter. There are two
SCSI Hard Disks of 4.5GB each, an ATAPI
CD-ROM, a floppy and 128MB of RAM. I have
installed Windows NT 4.0 on the first
partition
of 3.5GB formatted as NTFS. The first HD has
1GB of free space on which I want
to
install Linux. The second HD has only
one partition of 4.5GB formatted as NTFS.
I tried to install LINUX RED HAT 4.2 and
5.1 from CD. I have prepared a dos boot floppy
disk (MS-DOS 6.2) with the driver for the
CD-ROM, starting the boot of Linux executing
autoboot.bat from the directory dosutils.
When the install script asks for the SCSI driver
I choose aic7xxx. The install script installs
aic7xxx.o as module but this module is unable
to detect the SCSI adapter and the system
hangs. I notice that install loads first the
module cdrom.o and then aic7xxx.o.
How can I solve this problem?
With best regards
Fabio Sturman
