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. Best Regards, Glenn Cameron King Henry VIII School, Coventry
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. Have you tried just installing it to see what is detected? What version of SuSE are you using this time? ____________________________________ Giles Nunn - Network Manager Carms Schools ICT Development Centre Tel: +44 01239 710662 Fax: 710985 ____________________________________ On Mon, 11 Jun 2001, Glenn Cameron wrote:

Module Size Used by serial 42932 1 (autoclean) tulip 30328 1 eata 20484 4
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!

snip At the boot prompt type manual <enter> to start in text mode (I don't know how to do anything much in the graphical version ;-) ) and after choosing language etc from the menus choose Kernel modules then Autoload of modules This usually finds most SCSI adapters HTH ____________________________________ Giles Nunn - Network Manager Carms Schools ICT Development Centre Tel: +44 01239 710662 Fax: 710985 ____________________________________
