by Hi all,
In my attempt to install Linux I have run across my first
problem. I am able to run Linux's fdisk and create my primary
and swap linux partitions. When I then run setup it seems to
activate the swap partition properly but when it tries to
format the primary partition I get:
aha1542_out failed (2):SCSI: aborting command due to timeout:
pid 143, scsi 0 id0 lun 0 0 x08 19 10 80 20 20
over and over. I noticed that at boot up Linux says: 32
(something) not present, needed for this release, sorry.
My controller is set to 330 irq 11 dma 5 and works fine under
Dos/Win95. The Bios version on the controller is 3.08, I
believe there is a newer one (3.20) and I will be contacting
Adaptec to try to get it. I am using the mitsumi boot and
color144 root.
I hope someone here can help me with my problem.
very many TIA's for your help
Larry
