I hope I am not rehashing a topic already covered. I have a PIII system with a 440BX based motherboard. The mobo has a Highpoint 370 controller. I have a singel 20 gig IBM IDE drive connected to the Highpoint. I have a DVD-ROM drive connected to a standard 33 mhz ATA controller also on the motherboard. I have a Buslogic SCSI-2 card that a CDROM-R and tape drive are connected to. This machine has been running Suse going back to the 7.0 days. Most recently 7.3 Professional. I have never had any issues running Suse on this machine. The update install does not work at all, but I expected that to begin with. The problem is the machine will not boot(with Floppy) using the standard default install selection. The system hangs at the checking partitions on the hard drive. If I boot into the system using safe settings(turns off dma and apm) the system will boot fine. The install via IDE/ATA seems to go fine while using the DVD-ROM drive. However after the installation is completed I cannot access the SCSI devices connected to my SCSI controller. I checked dmesg to see if the card is picked up and it is not listed there at all. I attempt to install again this time using the SCSI cdrom(expecting the install routine to ask for modules disk 2), which it never does ask for this disk. It will abort/error and says it is going to manual install mode and gives me a screen that allows me to select the modules disk for SCSI. The system then will access the floppy, display a screen that indicates it is loading into ram and hangs there. If you attempt to install using the manual mode from the beginning of the install process the system once again hangs when checking the hard disk partitions. The question is this a known problem with Suse 8? Is there a way to add the SCSI support after the initial installation? Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. I have tried just about everything I can think of to get this system to recognize the SCSI. I have logged a ticket with Suse support several days ago with no response. I don't know what to think or say about that since I have never had to use Suse support before and have not had any problems with my Suse distro. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Wade
