Linux (Debian) won't recognize ADAPTEC 29160N SCSI disk - Please help

Post by Ole NIELSE » Sat, 03 Nov 2001 15:01:39



Dear Linux people!

I am trying to install linux on three PCs.
The installation procedure stops very early because it cannot find the
harddrive which is an ADAPTEC 29160N SCSI disk known to work well under
Windows 2000.
The kernel is 2.4.3 and the distribution is debian 2.2r3 (from Libranet).

The installation then proceeds to ask for a floppy drive containing
'essential' modules.

I have checked every FAQ and HOWTO along with Linux cares reports. All
seem to agree that this particular disk is supported and should install
without problems.

Do I need to setup the bios diffeerntly, maybe ?

I am running out of options, so if someone knows, please give me a hint.

Thanks
Ole

1. HELP: Linux instal won't recognize adaptec SCSI card

Hi,

I'm a Linux newbie and would greatly appreciate any help anyone can
provide on this.  I'm trying to install Mandrake 6.1 on a new system
with a SCSI CD ROM drive (Toshiba 3701).  I have an adaptec 1505 ISA
card which worked fine under windows.  I boot from the floppy when I get
to the SCSI adapter screen I select Adaptec 152x.  Autoprobe fails to
detect the card, as is expected since the 1505 card has no BIOS.  When I
try "specify options" and type "aha152x=0x340,9,7,1" the CD ROM does
light up briefly but the install program reports "can't find device
anywhere on your system."

Any suggestions on what else to try?

Thanks,

Neal
