The only thing the installation program needs with a scsi hd is your host bus adapter (for example 2840uw). When you have the correct drivers for your HBA all scsi hd's on the system will be found. The scsi id of the HD must be 0 for Suse to boot from the HD -----Original Message----- From: Keng Heng Chan [mailto:kengheng@2bsure.com] Sent: maandag 15 mei 2000 4:15 To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] howto install linux in scsi? hi, I have a AdvanSys scsi adapter with a HP 9G scsi hd, the problem I face is when I boot a ide cdrom to install Suse 6.4, but the YaST can't find my scsi hd!

At the boot prompt try something like: boot advansys=<addr1>,<addr2>,.......... eg: boot advansys=0x110 I think the boot is required at the start. This is from SuSE 6.3 manual.
