[TriLUG] Boot Failed

[John F Davis]

Hello

I think you are saying your linux distro doesn't recognize your odd ball
scsi adapter.  Have you tried the drivers diskette to see it
the driver is on it?

Subject:    [TriLUG] Boot Failed



Howdy all,
    I'm a student at NCSU and have rather limited linux knowledge (read:
 as much as E115 can give), but a good working knowledge of
Windows(uggggg) and my computers.  I am trying to setup a linux
fileserver #1 for kix, but #2 for security.  I have two SCSI hard drives
that are realatively old, 1999ish, and  an AdvanSys ABP930 card.  When I
start the computer with the RedHat #1 CD, I get a "Boot failed" message.
 I double checked the BIOS to see that the CDROM is set as the first
boot device, so that panned out ok.  Just for kix, i disconnected the
hard drive connector from the SCSI card, and then started the machine,
and the install program ran flawlessly, except of course for the lack of
a hard drive(sic).  One final thing:  the SCSI card recognizes the two
drives, as shown by the diagnostic screen on startup.  Any help yall
could offer would be greatly appreciated.  Oh, and hey jack neely :)
