Hello all,
I am having several install problems on Redhat 5.0, it is a straight
install, not an upgrade. I will list them in the order that they occur.
First off I cannot get the Linux installer to recognize my SCSI card. I
am not certain what brand it is because a friend gave it to me. It is not
PnP and its current settings are IO 0140-0125F and IRQ 11. It is
recognized and works very well on Win98 as an Adaptec
AHA-150X/1510/152X/AIC-6X60. I have tried every driver included the
install and all of them fail, are there some options that I should input
that would force it to scan at the correct IO and IRQ? Currently all I
run from it is an external Zip Drive which my brother and I share to swap
files back and forth. Any advice is appreciated.
Second, my ethernet card is not recognized. I picked it up a pair of them
at a used computer store cause the Linux FAQS all said that Linux
supported it. It is a Western Digital 8013/EBT running on IO 0340-035F
IRQ 3 and MEM address 000C8000-000CBFFF and it is recognized as such and
works well under Win98. Again, are there any params I can pass to force
it to be recognized?
Third, and worst of all the install of LILO at the end always fails no
matter how many times I redo the RedHat Install. I have a 2.5gig hard
drive partitioned with 1791mb at the end of the drive used for Win98
FAT32 as HDA1, a Linux ext2 602mb partition HDA5 as /, and a Linux Swap
partition at 47mb. I also have a slave drive partitioned as Win98 FAT32
that is 405mb as HDB1. It always gets to the end of the install and says
the bootloader install failed. I made sure the the boot record protect in
the BIOS is disabled so that isn't it. As far as I know nothing is could
be write protecting it. I have tried doing a FDISK /MBR in DOS to restore
the boot record and then reinstalling Linux with the same results.
Something that may have an affect on this is the DEV rpm and MAKEDEV rpm
both fail during the install. I know the /dev is the reference point for
my devices so this may be a cause. Any help here would be GREATLY
appreciated. Thanks to all in advance.
Benjamin
