Hi,
I am almost tearing my hair out of frustration. If anyone can
shed any light on my situation I would be MUCH appreciative.
Machine: Dual PII/400, 512MB ECC, MicroStar MS-6120N
AMI MegaRAID 428, 5 SCSI Wide 4GB HDD on 2 channels
Adaptec AHA3985 3-channel w/ CD-ROM, CD-R, scanner, MO, HDD.
DE-220 (NE2k clone) ISA 10Mb/s NIC, 3C905 PCI 10/100 Mb/s NIC
Matrox Millennium 8MB, Logitech Marble Plus trackball PS/2
Problem:
[1] I was unable to make Linux see more than one Logical Drive. When
booting up, there is a message making it clear that the driver
sees two Logical Drives, but only find one of them as /dev/sda.
[2] I can't install using standard Red Hat 6.1 Graphical Install.
The install process conks out with a Python error. Text-based
install will conclude normally, but when installing will only
see TWO DRIVES.
[3] When installing, the kernel sees megaraid first; when rebooting
after install, the kernel sees aic7xxx first, result is a kernel
panic. This is solvable by disconnecting the aic7xxx first, do
the install from the megaraid (at least disconnect all HDD-like
devices), recompile kernel with megaraid compiled in and aic7xxx
as module, then plugging in the HDD's on the aic7xxx. But there
surely is a better way!
[4] Back to 1; I still need to use the other logical drive.
HELP!! THANKS FOR ANY ASSISTANCE ...
