On an old Compaq Prosignia 300, with a Symbios 53c810 SCSI chip on-board, a kickstart installation always asks whether I have a 2nd SCSI controller. I also tried noprobe, with noprobe device scsi nrc53c8xx device ethernet pcnet32 and even then it asks that question. The rest of the installation works fine (I just have to press RETURN one time extra). When probing, it doesn't recognize the SCSI chip, although it is listed in /proc/pci: Bus 0, device 12, function 0: SCSI storage controller: NCR 53c810 (rev 2). Medium devsel. IRQ 10. Master Capable. Latency=255. I/O at 0x7100. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x5200000. I would appreciate any suggestions, workarounds, or fixes.
You have to use the --continue to make it continue to probe for additional devices as described at http://www.redhat.com/corp/support/manuals/RHL-6.0-Manual/install-guide/manual/doc132.html#sH.3.9 So in your case you would need: noprobe device scsi nrc53c8xx --continue device ethernet pcnet32 Reopen this if that does not help.
No, this didn't help. The best way for me is still to use noprobe device scsi ncr53c8xx device ethernet pcnet32 and then I only have to press return once, because it asks if I have other SCSI controllers.
This issue is resolved in the latest cuts of the installer.
