The initial install device probe loaded the NetRaid (AMI Megaraid) 'driver' before loading the onboard aic7xxx driver. This caused the install program to see the Raid array as sda when it should have been sdb. On reboot the box would not go beyond LILO. I booted from the bootdisk made by the install program and it detected the aic7xxx first which caused a kernel panic. The server is an HP LC III with dual 450's, 256M ram, HP NetRaid (AMI Megaraid) on IRQ 18,ide cdrom, 1 4GB scsi drive, and 3 9GB hot-swap drives. I previously had 6.0 running with no problems and when I switched to an ide drive the install went well. I would prefer to use scsi for server builds.
What does lspci say on the system?
What did the installer write in /etc/conf.modules? From the looks of it, it should have written: alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx alias scsi_hostadapter2 megaraid Is this not what it wrote?
You can use expert mode to determine which order SCSI adapters get detected in. Just type "expert" at the boot prompt. ------- Additional Comments From 10/13/99 20:01 ------- I too have the same problem with a Dual Pentium Pro 200 setup using an Symbios 53C810 SCSI with a Megaraid 438 controller. Building a custom kernel fixed that problem, but now I can't get my Intel Pro 100B adapter to work.
Reopen bug report if expert mode does not allow what you are trying to do.
