SuperMicro gave me a long list of things to look for with regards to SCSI. None of their suggestions have actually helped.
Bottom line is that this MBO has an onboard Adaptec AIC 7902 Ultra 320 Wide SCSI adapter connected to a Seagate ST 373297LC. RAID is turned off. Does anyone have the above Adaptec card working properly with SUSE 10.1.
It loads fine up to the first reboot where one is requested to set the root and user passwords. At that point scrolling off the screen are 100's of messages that look like: /etc/initscript: line 106: /sbin/mingetty: input/output error INIT: ID5 mingetty respawning too fast No more processes left in this runlevel.
I also see the INIT line appearing for ID1, IU2, ID6
I supect that the Adaptec Driver is not happy.
Any thoughts from all you very smart people?
You might try booting to the install media again and then tell it to boot the installed system which might load a missing driver. Also try adding the SCSI driver to the list of drivers loaded at boot and run mkinitrd to add it to the boot image. YMMV. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
