Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi. Architecture: Alpha pc164.(not lx or sx) Bios emulation: V1.15a Firmware: SRM V5.5-1 OS: FreeBSD 3.4 or 4.0 Scsi adapter: Adaptec 2920 ( supported AFAIK ) HDD: Quantum Fireball (scsi) History: Previously had Redhat 5.1 installed and operating correctly. Problem: scsi adapter is not recognized during installation. ( makes for a very difficult install ) Anyway, I have no clue what is going on. I know that the devices are supported, yet when I try to install ( utilizing boot disks, then ftp ) It claims that no devices were found. I have installed on Alpha arc's in the past and experienced no ill effects. I have tried both 3.4 and 4.0 disk sets, and _yes_ they were the alpha releases. If there is anyone out there that could offer any helpful suggestions, or a better place to post this question, it would be greatly appreciated. While on topic, has anyone ever experienced problems with cvsup (ie. core dump/ bad system call etc) on an alpha, or any architecture? danks.
