- - Why does &os; not detect my HP Netserver's SCSI - controller? - - - - This is basically a known problem. The EISA on-board - SCSI controller in the HP Netserver machines occupies EISA - slot number 11, so all the true EISA slots - are in front of it. Alas, the address space for EISA slots - >= 10 collides with the address space assigned to PCI, - and &os;'s auto-configuration currently cannot handle this - situation very well. - - So now, the best you can do is to pretend there is no - address range clash :), by bumping the kernel option - EISA_SLOTS to a value of 12. Configure - and compile a kernel, as described in the Handbook entry on configuring the kernel. - - Of course, this does present you with a chicken-and-egg - problem when installing on such a machine. In order to work - around this problem, a special hack is available inside - UserConfig. Do not use the - visual interface, but the plain command-line - interface there. Simply type the following command at the - prompt and install your system as usual: - - eisa 12 -quit - - While it is recommended you compile and install a custom - kernel anyway. - - Hopefully, future versions will have a proper fix for - this problem. - - - You cannot use a dangerously - dedicated disk with an HP Netserver. See this note for more info. - - - - - I keep seeing messages like ed1: timeout. What do these messages mean?
