1 Hello there,
2
3 We are trying to set up an experimental server with a Fibre channel data
4 disk (for video/media storage), but are having problems getting the Gentoo
5 linux kernal installed with the necessary FC support.
6 We have found the kernal driver for the Qlogic 2100 HBA, and providing the
7 external disk raid is not connected, the kernal will boot satisfactorily
8 from the internal scsi system disk on the server chassis (a Gateway 7400
9 machine)
10
11 When the the Fibre disk is connected, this is detected and when mounted it
12 is configured as the first HD and the system boot crashes.
13 How can we fix Gentoo to aleays recognize the scsi disk as the first HD?
14
15 Many thanks &
16 Best Regards,
