Hello everyone, |
2 |
|
3 |
I've got a problem installing Gentoo on an HP NetServer LH6000. It |
4 |
has an Adaptec RAID AIC78xx Controller. |
5 |
|
6 |
When i boot with a LiveCD and put doscsi to the kernel's command line |
7 |
at boot time, it tries to load 3 kernel modules: sym53c8xx, aic78xxx and |
8 |
scsi_transport_spi, but hangs in the process of loading, and i have to |
9 |
reboot. |
10 |
|
11 |
I've managed to start the LiveCd without SCSI detection and it loads |
12 |
OK. But then, then, i modprobe those modules, they load, but i still |
13 |
can't see the RAID disks. (no scsi devices in /dev) |
14 |
|
15 |
The weird thing is that i tried installing a RedHat 9 just to see if |
16 |
it was capable of seeing the RAID devices. it turns out that RedHat sees |
17 |
the RAID devices loading exactly the same modules i tried to load with |
18 |
Gentoo -> sym53c8xx and aic78xxx. |
