OK guys, this one has me stumped pretty bad. I'm trying to boot an IBM Netfinity 4500R (type 8656 if anyone cares) with an Adaptec 3200S RAID card with a RAID volume of 42.37GB on it (6x9GB).
I've tried booting woody to linux, compact, and bf24. Each boots successfully, but does not see this disk, giving "No hard disk drives could be found" errors when I try to install, obviously. Here's the output from dmesg that I thought looked relevant to this problem: request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted i2o_scsi.c: Version 0.0.1 chain_pool: 0 bytes @ dfffaa20 (512 byte buffers X 4 can_queue X 0 i2o controllers) Anecdotally, I can get FIRE (Forensic Intrusion Recovery Environment - http://biatchux.dmzs.com/?section=main) to boot and see the disk array, but so far that's been it. Any light you folks can shed on this would be most greatly appreciated. I'm determined to build this new server as a Debian system, but searching through the lists, etc. I can't seem to find anyone who has had similar problems (probably due to the nonstandard configuration -- the 'on-board' card is an Adaptec 7899 and most people probably stuck with that -- I have disabled that in the BIOS as we don't need it). -- .''`.
