by OK, I've got a DPT 2021/95 ISA SCSI board in my system. I downloaded the
RedHat 4.0 boot and supplemental disks so I could try out RedHat (I
intended to use ftp installation). The boot disk boots fine, and I insert
the second disk in order to run the ftp installation. However, when I
tell the system that I have a EATA-DMA SCSI card and let it autoprobe, the
system hangs with this message:
Kernel panic: No device found in allocate_device
All my drives are connected via the DPT, so without it I can't install
RedHat. The current Debian boot/root/rescue disk detects the card and
all the devices with no problems.
My system:
486DX2-66 on a no-name VLB motherboard, 8MB RAM
DPT 2021/95 ISA SCSI card
Quantum LPS-52S HDD
Maxtor 7345S HDD
Plextor SCSI CD-ROM
Hercules Graphite Pro VL graphics card
3Com 3C509B Ethernet
I've found other posts describing a similar problem using DejaNews,
but didn't find any solutions. If anyone knows how I can fix this, I'd
really appreciate the help.
Thanks
Matt
