An Adaptec 29160 that I bought for one of my (older) FreeBSD platforms didn't fit. It probably will fit into the new PC that I'm installing SuSE on. This new system is fairly limited for my needs and I'd like to add some SCSI devices. So the nutshell of my question: Does Linux (or SuSE's implementation) work with both the IDE and SCSI interface?
thanks for any help!
Yes it will. I use IDE disks (2 disks, 1 ZIP, 1 CD) on my IDE ports and (now in an external case) 2 SCSI disks and a CD burner. I boot from IDE, load the tekram card as a module (dc395x_trm modul). Then I can use the stuff in the external box. After finishing, I unload the module and switch the box off. For a "normal" system, I'd load the appropiate modul in boot.local. Have a read of chapter 16, SuSE boot concept and initial ramdisk.
