[SuSE Linux] Adaptec 7890
At Cornell, we've been having any new systems built by CSI in CO....VERY solid systems, and NO problems. Cornell last year negotiated special pricing with Dell, and the "bean counter" in my dept. thought that we should get a Dell for our new server....I didn't have much choice. It's a Poweredge 2300...nice black metal case, LOTS of air flow with good fans, etc., etc. However, it has an Adaptec 7890 embedded on the MOB (NOT my choice for a controller for sure). SuSE 5.3 will NOT "see" the 2 Segate Baracudas. I called SuSE in CA today to find out if that controller is supported, and I was told that I could call tech. support tomorrow after 11:00 pacific time. Wonderfull.....the sales dept. can't tell me if 6.0 is going to support this controller. Redhat 5.2 does ship with the driver...already checked on that. I'd like to put 6.0 on the "beast," but I'm not going to wait for a driver that SHOULD have shipped with 5.3. Oh yes...forgot. Dell has "cut" a deal with Redhat......oh well.

The Drivers in the 2.0.X Kernels are all slightly slow with aic7xxx controllers. 2.2.X ( I use 2.2.1 ) are quiet a lot faster with this controllers. I would recommend you create a 2.2.X Kernel on another Box and install it on the Dell machine :)) Regards Michael Bielicki On 04-Feb-99 Anthony Schlemmer wrote:

Yes, 6.0 does support the 7890. As does 5.3, if you use the updated boot-Disk from our ftp-Server (/pub/suse_update/suse53/disks/) Bye, LenZ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH <A HREF="mailto:grimmer@suse.de">mailto:grimmer@suse.de</A> Schanzaeckerstr. 10 <A HREF="http://www.suse.de/~grimmer"><A HREF="http://www.suse.de/~grimmer</A">http://www.suse.de/~grimmer</A</A>> 90443 Nuernberg, Germany - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
