Description Need Real Name 2001-12-19 14:27:37 UTC

A summary of The Request in the Ticket manager should describe the 
problem :

Service Request 195482

I have a HP netserver with only SCSI devices, even the CDROM. The CDRom is 
boots automaticaly. When entering the installation method, I can only 
choose between NFS, FTP and HTTP and not my CDROM.
Even in expert mode I am not able to manualy select devices. ( I have no 
driver diskette and this is not needed )

The server is equiped with the standard onboard SCSI controller an ADAPTEC 
AIC 7770. The CD Rom the standard ReadOnly CDROM a Sony CDU-76S.

I checked it out with the noprobe option and now i was able to select CD-
Rom as installation method. I was also able to select the aic7xxx 
controller but this seems to be an experimental driver.
After the selections ( server installation ), the installation starts but 
during the installation it hangs. I tried it several times and it hangs on 
different places.

Summary so far: aic7xxx hangs for someone...?

More details would be useful if available.

Comment 2 Arjan van de Ven 2001-12-31 18:49:50 UTC

Is this a motherboard with a 440GX chipset ?

Comment 3 Need Real Name 2002-01-02 08:55:22 UTC

How can I see if it's a 440GX chipset. The chips seems to have to be 
manufactured in '93.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
