Title: adaptec 2100S RAID Controller
Post by: robert on November 29, 2002, 02:16:44 AM
[im not sure to post this on experienced or general - so i tried
experianced and waited and now try here: hope this is ok]

Im trying to get this card to work
  (its supported in RH7.3, so 5.6 will solve everything -
  aint it often the way! but ive no idea on that timeframe
  or the 'stability' of the beta, so trying to get 5.5 to work)

for SME5.5 the card required a driver, which I have on floppy

but i cannot interupt the CD boot, so I
made a boot floppy from the CD boot.img,
and edited the syslinux.cfg to show

  default accept
  prompt 1
  timeout 600
  display boot.msg
  F1 boot.msg
  LABEL accept
  KERNEL vmlinuz
  APPEND ks=cdrom:images/kickstart/ks_stub.cfg initrd=initrd.img local

Then I boot, and at the boot prompt type "accept dd".

It now reads the driver diskette (dtp_i2o which is correct),
  but still doesnt find the scsi drive!

  after the driver diskette, cd reads, driver finishes reading,
  lang-select, kybd, accept licence and
  WHAMMO - nodrive found

  what else do I need to do?

gee i hope someone can help!
kind regards Robert
