next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Experience: Successful Debian Linux installs since 1993, Also using a
QNX
distribution for data acquisition.
System: Zeos 486-DX266 VLB system with 1 on-board ide controller, 1
Adaptec AHA1542CF SCSI adapter. System boots from a 340M WD
Caviar hd, which is a master for a 210 WD Caviar hd.
The 1542 has an ibm 500M hd and a Toshiba 3401TA
cd-rom attached to it at scsi addresses 7, 1 and 2,
respectively. Cirrus Logic CL-GDXX series video board.
1 Intel EtherExpress 8/16 network card.
Problem: Trying to install from the 4.0 March 2000 Walnut Creek
distribution using the boot and root floppies. Installation
stops at searching for the cd-rom. It can't find it because
the card wasn't probed (the ibm scsi hd wasn't found either).
Tried: Reading the F*&#(@! manual, errata.txt, hardware.txt,
install.txt, readme.txt, book.txt, the faq and
searched the mailing list archives.
I have set the AHA1542 per hardware txt. Set the EtherExpress
per the
hardware.txt. Pulled the EtherExpress, and manually set
the board parameters in the CLI screen. The farthest I got was
a prompt telling me that the system was letting the scsi system
"rest" for 15 seconds (at which point it locked up). I KNOW I
have my termination correct, I KNOW my boards and cables are
serviceable.
Please tell me what I am missing.
Thanks,
Michael
