Check the setup on the working server. Start with an lsmod to see what modules are loaded, if the SCSI card is using a module it will show up in the module list.

Also check your lilo setup for extra parameters which might be required to get the SCSI started.
Looking at /etc/lilo.conf can't see any paramters, all looks fairly standard.
Have you tried just installing it to see what is detected? What version of SuSE are you using this time?
Got a boxed 7.0 this time (last time we did it over the Internet), but trouble is our CD-ROM and hard drives come off the SCSI controller, so its the first hurdle after booting off the floppy :( I'll confess from the outset whilst I use *nix based servers every day, not actually done much install work on my own!

A year and a half ago we built one of our old RM FX servers as a Linux server using Suse 6.3 and running squid. It's been sitting in the corner doing its job without a problem and we are very happy with it. We would like to do the same at our sister school who have the a virtually identical server, however I can't remember how we managed to get our DPT 2024 SCSI card to be recognised. Searching the SuSE hardware database doesn't seem to help - can someone point me in the right direction? I'm guessing other RM sites will have done the same thing, and obviously we did but I just can't remember what we did - and going into YaST doesn't seem to tell me what we did either! Suggestions much appreciated.
