RedHat 6.0 & Adaptec 2930CU SCSI Card

RedHat 6.0 & Adaptec 2930CU SCSI Card

Post by Jeremy A. Snyde » Wed, 08 Sep 1999 04:00:00



I recently purchased a couple of the Adaptec 2930U cards (tier
I supported) for use with a Redhat 6.0 machine.  I installed the card
and when the system boots the SCSI BIOS messages says it is a 2930CU
card.   I ordered 2930U cards, and I assume these are similar/compatible
cards, but RedHat 6.0 doesn't recognize the card.

Any ideas or mods that can be made to recognize this "new" SCSI card???
I am trying to use the AIC7xxx.o module, but it doesn't detect the
card.  I am assuming it might be doing a string check and with the C in
the middle it isn't finding 2930U... but rather 2930CU.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Upgrade to kernel 2.2.10 or greater. My Redhat 6.0 didn't recognize either,
but when i upgraded to Mandrake 6.1 with 2.2.13-7 the card was recognized.

1. Adaptec 2930CU under Redhat 6.0

I'm having a little (well a lot) of trouble getting redhat to recognize
my Adaptec 2930CU PCI board.  I was wondering if anyone has had any luck
using this card, and what their procedure had been for getting luck (Did
you hold your nose while you crossed your eyes?  I find this helps with
SCO Unix, but hasn't quite yet with Linux.).  I tried to get the card
recognized under installation, no luck.  I tried forcing the AIC-78xx
driver in the kernel, no luck.

I hate like heck to have to go back to an ide cd-rom burner.  If anyone
has some help, I would definitely appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
