Sounds like a driver problem to me. The installer loads the module and then the system hangs. Changing component. Could you try the updated driverdisks at http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/rhl71/ncrsym/ please ? Work around: It is not obvious, but here is how to get Red Hat 7.1 installed on a SCSI system based on the Tekram DC-390U3W adapter: 1. get Rhboot70.zip, Rhkern70.zip and readme.txt from ftp.tekram.com (yes, get the Red Hat 7.0 stuff, because Tekram doesn't have 7.1 installer) 2. follow the readme instructions, except use the RH 7.1 CDROMS instead of 7.0. 3. when finish you will have a bootable 7.1 system with the RH 7.0 kernel (yes, you are running 7.1 with a 2.2 kernel -- no modules won't work and you will see a few errors when booting) 4. get networking running and get kernel 2.4.5 source ( I don't think any kernel prior to 2.4.4 will work because there are many differences in sym58c8xx.c compared to 2.4.4 and 2.4.5) 5. configue kernel with sym58c8xx SCSI module compiled in 6. Now you have RH 7.1 with a 2.4 kernel Richard Could you try the updated driverdisks at http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/rhl71/ncrsym/ YES, at least the new i686 driver diskette lets you start an install. (This is MUCH better than the Tekram RH 7.0 install that I used above) Richard That's why I made the driverdisk ;) I'll close this as "fixed in rawhide"; newer kernels there and the driverdisk are indeed a fix for this. If you do have the same problem with this card, feel free to reopen this bug. |
