I recently tried to install Red Hat Linux on my system. I used the Red
Hat 5 distribution and besides the lack of a "back"-button in the
installation program and the obvious mistake to not be able to search
for the distribution on a disk not correctly labeled, everything seemed
to be fine.
But, when I tried to restar my machine, the system didn't find my disk!
Only when I turned the power off and on again did the drive appear.
I have an Adaptec 2940AU card with a Fujitsu SCSI drive as main drive,
but my CD-ROM is connected to one of the IDE slots built in to the MB.
Since I have a Win95 system on the disk I installed LILO, and I tried
both to install it in MBR and in the first part of the Linuz partition,
but both versions gave me the same drive-losing problems. (Yes, I did a
complete reinstall in between).
What went wrong here? Any clues would be greatly appreciated!
BTW: (Is this a flame thrower :-) I've never had these problems with
FreeBSD.
(... But I wanted to try Linux... Did that dampen the flames? :-)
