Please excuse if this is a repost. I posted this last night and my subscription to the debian-user list wasn't actually confirmed until this morning, and I don't know if the list accepts non-subscriber posts. If my post made it through and you replied to it, please repost your reply personally to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which will bypass my TMDA confirmation).
----- Forwarded message ----- I'm trying to get Debian GNU/Linux installed on a new Supermicro 5011H server. The system locks up completely after downloading sequencer code for both channels of the onboard Adaptec AIC-7899 and requires a power-down reset to get it going again. I've tried both Debian 2.2r3 and the compact install for Debian 3 (testing) and the result is the same. Both installs use Linux 2.2.x kernels. Any suggestions about how to get around this? ----- End forwarded message ----- This morning I tried installing RedHat 6.1 on the system and the boot proceeded with no problem, loading the aic7xxx SCSI driver and starting to load packages onto the system. I don't want to use RedHat on this box! I expect that manufacturer's tech support, whom I cc'd on my previous post, will tell me that that's the Linux they support and guarantee to be operational with the system, but I've been using Debian for years and the general engineering of it is much better than Red Hat. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | if you let it" | available at 512-259-1190 | (The Roadie) | <http://www.fmp.com/pubkeys> http://www.fmp.com | |
