It runs ok until I get to Yast, which tells me it can't see any disks. There is a PERC2 RAID controller in the machine, this is working, I checked it beforehand. Also I've tried installing the Adaptec RAID module before running the installation which hasn't helped either. Am a bit of a newbie so this is all rather perplexing. Any help you could give would be very gratefully received! Thanks in advance. George

Hi all,
Am having a problem when I try to install SuSE on a Dell 2300 server. It runs ok until I get to Yast, which tells me it can't see any disks. There is a PERC2 RAID controller in the machine, this is working, I checked it beforehand. Also I've tried installing the Adaptec RAID module before running the installation which hasn't helped either.

What happens when you back up after the disk failure, ie. abort the installation an then chose manual? Then look at installed modules. Is the RAID controller module loaded already? If it is, try restarting the install and at the command/boot prompt try putting "enableapic" and see if it makes a difference, assuming the RAID module is loading OK.
