- Hi, I'm having some seriuos trouble with my scsi-host card and Linux.
- The problem is as follows:
-
- I haven't yet installed Linux on my HD so I boot from the BOOT-0.97
- diskette.
-
- When I start from a coldboot the boot finds my scsi card and hangs.
- I have looked and found that the card itself hangs after the message
- that Linux has found a scsi card.
-
- Then when I boot (warm boot that is) Linux doesn't find any scsi card at
- all. This due to that the card is hung.
-
- If I do reboot to DOS the card is functioning perfectly. I'm using PowerSave
- to do Backups under DOS and haven't yet encountered any problems.
-
- Question as follows: Have anyone encountered this or am I alone with this
- problem ?
- Is there a solution ? ( Please don't give me: "Look patchlevel X.XX" or
- "recompile the kernel" cause I'm not in the position to do this )
-
- For your convinience I here present my configuration:
-
- Copam 486/33B with 16Mb and 256 Kb cache using Phoenix BIOS A486 1.01
- Quantum 210A a 210Mb harddisc.
- Trident 8900C 1Mb SVGA noname card.
- AND
- SCSI host card Adaptec 1542B with BIOS 3.10. This is installed with a
- standard preinstalled configuration. Wangtek SCSI tapestreamer.
-
- Please give me a solution bescuase I also want to use the superb OS
- that I find Linux to be.
-
- With regards, Mikael Bj|rn
