RE: Adaptec SCSI RAID 2000S

Hi.

I checked Adaptec's site first thing, but no luck (unless you want to
install Windows or SUSE).

A bit of research told me that I *should* be able to use the i2o driver
for it, and I've gotten it as far as installing. But somehow the grub
bootloader doesn't work.

I found http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/rhel.php but after following those
instructions I'm still at a point where, on bootup, I only get the word
'GRUB' on the screen and that's it.

I believe the i2o driver, which I manually specified during the install
with 'linux noprobe' etc. etc. doesn't load up again after a reboot, for
some reason.

Still working on it, but any suggestions will be appreciated!

Thank you.

I hope you've already solved this problem. Have you checked the Adaptec
web site for a Linux driver? If anyone has one, it would be the OEM.

I urgently need advice on this: I need to install RHEL5 on a server
that is probably about 4 years old. It contains an Adaptec SCSI RAID
2000S adapter, and there is no driver available that I can track down
on
short notice (and none included on the RHEL5 discs). Anaconda does
not
detect any disks on the server during installation.

Anyone know what my best bet is to get around this, or where to find a
driver that will work?

Thanks very much.

Johan
