Poweredge 6300

30 Aug 2002


      I'm attempting to install SUSE 8.0 on a Dell Poweredge 6300, but the
stock kernel doesn't seem to be initializing the RAID controllers and
therefore I am unable to access the harddrives.
On boot I am seeing 2 AIC7890's and one AIC7860 controller. A lsmod
shows the aic7xxx module loaded, but unused. The Yast2 setup reports no
harddrives found. I've tried rmmod-ing the module and re-insmod-ing the
module with a few parameters I found on a couple of google searches, but
still no dice. I also tried running modprobe...scsi_hostadapter manually
to no avail. 
Any other ideas? Has anyone had experience loading SUSE 8.0 on a the
aforementioned server?
