SLES 7 IA64-RC1 doesn't see "suitable hard drives" for install
by Nevin Cheung 22 Aug '01

When I try to install SLES 7 RC1 on a Compaq Blazer with its built-in drives, it claims that there aren't any suitable hard drives to install on. I tried manual mode and loading the drivers manually, but I get the same result. Going back to my trusty-old Beta 1 CDs makes it see my disks fine. I haven't tried Beta 2. Any ideas? Is this a cpqarray driver issue? Thanks. -nev -- _______________________________________________________________________ Nevin Cheung nevman(a)sendmail.com Sendmail Senior Technical Consultant

I am trying to install suse-ia64-7.2 on one of the ia64 SMP boxes (Lions). During starting of the installation it is "panic"ing. I was wondering if there are any known issues with installation. Here are the details of the machine. C0 4-way Intel SDV SMP box BIOS: 83B Mem: 8 Gb Disk: 75 Gb We tried the install on BIOS 76B, 79B and 83B - no luck! The install seems to go fine on BigSur (Workstations) with C0 processors and using the same CD's. Regards, Vivek
