hi

i use the following hardware : adaptec pci aic789x ultra 2 scsi controller
(onboard asus p2b-s), and a plextor 32x scsi cdrom. i try to install redhat
5.0. the installation program does not recognize the scsi controller, which
is normal coz i think the controller did not exist when 5.0 became
available. question is : how can i make linux recognize the adapter, or how
do i load the correct driver. i have no idea how to do this. i am an
absolute newbie as fas as unix and linux are concerned. which, for a new
convert understandable howto should i read ?

thankx for any help.

You'll need to get the latest kernel 2.2.2. Your best bet is to order a new
redhat 5.2 cd from cheapbytes.com for $1.99. This doesn't have the 2.2.2
kernel but it is at 2.0.36 I think. This should provide your scsi support that
you need. Of course, somebody else probably will have a more technical idea
creating a boot disk with the proper drivers. I expect that you can do it this
way, I just don't quite know how off the top of my head.
Good luck.

You need the updated boot images for RedHat 5.2 to install. You also
need the newest kernel which comes with RedHat 5.2 (2.0.36 - redhat
patched).
I just installed 6 p2b-ds so I know it works.
