I'm seeing scsi : 0 hosts. scsi : detected total. when it boots. The 1st time I installed the scsi card on the system ; the system detected without any problem and I was abled to go to the scsiSelect option and format the drive with no problem. Linux OS prompt if I wanted to configure the scsi card and I said OK. In the /etc/conf.modules files there is an entry for the dirver 'alias scsi-hostadapter aic7xxx' When I run the ' fdisk /dev/sda ' , It does nothing it just sit there until abort the with CTRL/Z If I run the ' fdisk /dev/sga ' and then abort it with CTRL/Z and then run the ' fdisk /dev/sda ' again it 'fdisk' works and I'm abled partiton disk drive without problem From here I'm lost don't know what to do next. In Solaris I normally run format utility and selecl disk drive, partition the drive and label it each partition. After the 'format' i run the ' newfs ' to get the partition ready to mount. In Linux I don't know what to do after the fdisk. I know I have something wrong with the driver but I don't know what I need to fix this problem At boot time the the information that it is sent to the console about the Adaptec card is : AHA-2940 Bios V1.23 Amando A.
