Hello, I have some problems for install a potato debian (2.2.19pre17) on a compaq proliant ML370 G2 with smart array 5i option.
http://www.compaq.fr/produits/serveurs/proliant/proliantml3702.asp http://www5.compaq.com/products/quickspecs/10890_div/10890_div.HTML It's seem that smart array 5i is an adaptec 7899. I make on raid 5 volume with 3 disks. Here you are a part of boot messages : md driver 0.36.6 MAX_MD_DEV=4, MAX_REAL=8 (scsi0) <Adaptec AIC-7899 Ultra 160/m SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 1/2/0 (scsi0) Wide Channel A, SCSI ID=7, 32/255 SCBs (scsi0) Downloading sequencer code... 396 instructions downloaded (scsi1) <Adaptec AIC-7899 Ultra 160/m SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 1/2/1 (scsi1) Wide Channel B, SCSI ID=7, 32/255 SCBs (scsi1) Downloading sequencer code... 396 instructions downloaded scsi: <fdomain> Detection failed (no card) NCR53c406a: no available ports found sym53c416.c: Version 1.0.0 Failed initialization of WD-7000 SCSI card!

Then, installation tell to me that I don't have any hard disk ... Y try many argumetns on boot with many kernel (the 3 1th cd of potato) aic7xxx=no_probe, no-reset, irq=11,no_probe and nothing work, I alway have the same message. I try the netinstall woody cd's too. On the Compaq's site, they give some driver for RedHat 7.0 and 7.1 whithout any source. For the 7.0 : kernel 2.2.16 je pense http://www.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/download/10868.html For the 7.1 kernel 2.4.? http://www.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/download/10859.html I try : * the aic7xxx.o from debian potato 2.2.19pre17 but it talk to me about symbol problem. * the cciss.o module from a slackware 2.2.19 but it talk about a kernel version problem and the --force don't change any thing. Finaly, I not sure the problem is a driver/module. -- Fabrice Rafart
