When Linux is booted from the install floppy, no SCSI
disks are detected.
Is this controller supported by Linux?

Probably not. I do not know of any PCI-scsi-controller working yet.Quote:>I am trying to help a friend install Linux. His hard disk

According to Drew, Scott Ferris is working on the AIC-7770 driver under Linux,
but I have no confirmation on this yet.
Up to now you either have to use PCI-IDE or one of the ISA-SCSI-Controllers
like me using the Adaptec-1542B-ISA in an isa-slot. It is not *that* slow,
but will be a lot faster as soon as the NCR-driver is out :-)
see sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/PCI-HOWTO for more information.

1. NexStor PCI SCSI controller problems with RedHat
I am having some installation problems with Red Hat.
Upon booting, the SCSI driver goes into an infinite loop.
Prior to that, I get some error message like:
.. aborting due to timeout
.. DANGER: command in running list cannot abort...
Then it starts spewing out the same message over and over again:
.. scsi0: existing issue queue
The SCSI controller card is a PCI controller based around the
NCR 53c810 chip.
My machine is:
Mircon P60
Conner CFP2107S at scsi ID0
Maxtor MXT-540SL at scsi ID 1
Chinon CDS-535 cdrom at scsi ID 6
I have booted with image #36.
I know the controller etc are OK, because they work fine
under windows NT and windows 95.
BTW I have the same problem under Slackware Linux v 2.0
Anyone know what might be going on?
thanks.
