Thanks Jef for the reply. I have that same card as you but it do not have a slot on this motherboard that it will fit in. It's a pci -x card. The 9650 is pci-e. I have not gone to any other consoles to see what is print there not sure I have a choice to do that but I might try it tomorrow. I get the message that it can not find updates or that it can not access updates on the media but I know the media is readable. I made the floppy from a usb floppy drive on another pc under windows and then moved the usb floppy to the server an tried that. I have also copied the drivers to a cd an tried that but does not work either. I be interested to see if the 9550 is seen out of the box like most 3ware cards are or not. At this point I need to find a raid card to use even if I go to something else besides 3ware. I have one pci-e slot an one regular pci slot free to use. Jack -----Original Message-----
i have to install 2 servers with the 3ware 9550sx controller later this week. if i encounter problems ( or if it succeeds ), i'll let you know. i know it's hard when you get stuck with hardware, especially linux-friendly, and no-one on the list seems to have the same problems.... jef peeraer ps when you hit F5 ( i thought is was F2 ? ), can you watch the other consoles, because they print a lot of info there ( alt-f2/alt-f3 ). maybe you find some useffull info there -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
