I have the correct boot disk -- the one which should have the
SCSI drivers for my DPT 2021 SCSI board on it. Actually, it does detect
the presence of the drive -- as it says, during boot:
hdc: EATA SCSI HBA PM2021A
...but also it is stated:
No BIOS32 extensions present. This revision still depends on it. Sorry.
(what does that mean? -- that is a PCI thing right? Linux only
works on PCI machines?) ...also this comes up:
HBA at 0x0170 didn't react on INQUIRY. Sorry.
scsi: 0 hosts
scsi: detected total.
...but the HOWTO for SCSI states my board is supported, and it
(linux) found the proper port address. And it seems to know the board
is there. Yes - I got the boot disk NETSCSI1 -- which has the SCSI
drivers for my board. Does this mean I cannot run Linux?
I am installing Slackware 3.0, kernel 1.2.13. Help!
