Please help me install Suse 9 on a new Raid system! It is driving me MAD! <-snip-> The Suse Installation screen appears and I Enter on the option "Installation".
Hi Eveline, It might be lame to ask, but I'm working from memory at the moment... Is there no 'load modules' or similar option available at this menu?
@@@>The YASt2 should now ask for the floppy. But it does not!<@@@
It does not matter if I insert the floppy before or afterwards. The diskette is read for a second, when inserted. But the module seems not toe be loaded. I tried again with a diskette where the driver module is in the root - no result either.
Yast2 does not find my Raid disks, whatever I try. (Error) So Yast givess no configuration proposal. I also tried left Alt key instead of F3 key. I also tried "Installation - safe settings" - no result I also installed "Installation" with ACPI = Off in the boot options - no result I also tried, after a no result installation effort, to click the button "cancel installation. A smaller Main menu window appears. <-snip->
There *is* a menu option here to manually load modules from floppy. Before attempting to proceed with the installation, you'll need to load any network or file system modules, too (for example, to support Reiserfs,) in addition to the raid module. Note: You can make your module floppies in YaST
I choose option "Start Installation / system" Then I push OK, select Installation, and Ok again, a menu appears: choose source medium. But choices are CD-Rom, Network, Hard disk When I choose Harddisk I can fill in several partitions. Not any of my choices had result: "error could not mount the specified partition" When I choose CD-Rom and have the F3 key pressed the same useless round starts, with one difference: there is a window asking "confirm driver activation" "Yast2 has detected the following device: Promise Technology Inc (Asustek Computer Inc) Driver module to load" and then there is a window with "pdcraid" I can click OK or cancel. Both to no result. On OK I get a similar window about usb storage and then another one about sbp2 protocol. What should I do wih these? Do I have to enter something?
The whole thing drives me raving mad. Please help..
