I am trying to install Red Hat Linux 5.1, but with no success. My
machine hangs during instalation after probing the SCSI card.
<4>SCSI0: Qlogic ISP1020 SCSI on PCI bus 0 device 8 irq 11 base 0x6100
<4>SCSI : 1 host.
_ (Hangs here)

I am trying to install on the following system
1. K6 233 on a VX chipset MB
2. 64 meg mem
3. S3 Virge
4. Qlogic Fast!SCSI IQ PCI-D, Bios Rev 5.09, ISP Firmware Rev 2.26 with
7 devices attached.

I am new to Linux and this is my first attempt to run it. Any help wrt
to the problem and/or directions where to find help will be appreciated.

I'm not sure if our cards are the exact same in terms of driver needed
but I've got a QLogic PCI Fast!SCSI Basic card from a few years ago. I
KNOW my BIOS version is no greater than 2.1 though. I had to use the
AM53/79C974 PCscsi driver (rev 0.5) to get mine to work.

Perhaps you just need to try a different driver?
