Re: [SLE] Promise ultra 100 tx2 with suse 8
I just bought that card and want to install 8.0 pro. Is this a Pro vs Personal version problem? Any URL you have would be apreciated. CWSIV On Mon, 3 Feb 2003 10:16:05 +1100 "Jon Biddell" <jon@fl.net.au> writes:
This is interesting - I have the same card with a standard SuSE 8.0 install and it works fine in my server.
Hi all,
I have a problem that my Promise ultra 100 tx2 card doesn't work with SuSE. I have tried both 8.0 and 8.1 with the same result. However it works perfectly on the same box with Mandrake 9.0 and RedHat 8.0, so it must be SuSE specific problem. After searching the net I found that other people seem to have the same problem, but unfortunately didn't find any solution for it. I was suggested that the problem is related to a bug in the kernel 2.4-19, but there was no clear indication how to proceed to overcome it. Such a stupid question: if I take kernel sources from Mandrake or RedHat, compile them and instal with SuSE, will it work? Or is there any other solution?

I have 3 machines running Suse 8.0, with the disks on Promise Ultra 100 Tx2. Installed without a hitch, ran fine ever since. There is an issue mentioned in the upgrade notes: in the 7 series the promise controller is less recognised. This might give you different disk numbering, a 7.3 hde might become hda under Suse 8. Would only happen in an upgrade, my experience has led me to always do clean installs. For that reason I have /home as a seperate partition and use it to carry forward files and configuration I want to keep. ie: I copy /etc into /home to refer to in setting up the new machine. -- Michael James michael.james@csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166
