I apologize if this is inappropriate for this list. I have a dell precision 410 that has two SCSI controllers on the mother board. One is a AIC - 7880P and the other is a AIC - 7890AB. The first one is connected to the CD-ROM and the second is connected to the HD. I'm trying to install RH6.0. The installation freezes after I confirm the CD-ROM is a SCSI device. I've tried to search DELL's site for support on Linux, but because this machine was loaded with NT they won't help. I went to RedHat and found an FAQ that said something along the lines of finding one controller before the other but I'm not sure if this is my problem. Finally, I also read something that indicated that the CD-ROM should be on the same controller as the boot drive for installation. I can't do this because they are different bus architectures. The simplest solution (I think) is to copy everything to the HD and perform the installation from there. I was just wondering if anyone had seen this before and if so how did they resolve it.
