Anthony,
I'm grappling with that problem right now as I type on a different computer.
The SCSI card isn't supported by RHL 5.1 at all. Nonetheless, ASL
Workstations shipped me a PC with their custom setup already installed (but
didn't bother to tell me on their Web site, in their documentation, or
anywhere else that you have to download a special boot/supp disk set, etc.,
count the BogoMIPS, light as many candles, do the hokey pokey and turn
yourself around *JUST* to get the kernel to recognize the SCSI card).
Anyway, you can download some boot/supp images from:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/aic/boot_disks/5.1.0-final/RedHat/5.1/images
These images have gotten RHL 5.1 installed, although I can't seem to figure
out how to boot at this point once I have it installed. I'll try to figure
that out today, but if someone else happens to know, would you pass on the
knowledge? Thanks! :-)
-Fred
