failed install of SuSE 7.1 - 2.4.0 kernel
Hmm, seems this dropped off the radar screen so here is a recap:
ASUS A7V266-E motherboard with on-board Promise Lite raid controller out of the box, SuSE 7.1 installs 2.2.18 kernel perfectly but fails with kernel panic on reboot when 2.4.0 kernel is selected; failure to write fs to root
/ partition is formatted reiserfs (using ext2 resulted in same error with 2.4.0)
IBM ide harddrive is connected as master on the primary ide controller - Linux sees it as /dev/hde
use of 7.1 2.4.16 default kernel resulted in same error
A brief piece on Duke of URL suggested that a special module (Promise SCSI??) was required to use Promise Lite raid controllers with 2.4.* kernels. Any ideas? Has anyone successfully installed SuSE 7.3 pro on the ASUS A7V266-E mainboard?? TIA, John Heuer
