You don't mention the specifics of your SCSI devices... (vendor, model,
etc) but I have installed 10.0 on two scsi systems using Adaptec 29160
controllers.
opps!
Adaptec 29320A ultra 320
I assume you've tried the 'safe' install? Just an option to try.
Every combination available has been tried, including the ACIP off
version. All result in exactly the same failure point, that is, after
loading 3-4 packages, YaST can't find the DVD/CD drive containing the
install media, and the DVD drive is an IDE device. In other words, it's
an IDE, NOT SCSI problem! It's a ridiculous error and should be fixed
by Novell rather than saying they don't support SCSI.. Prior to saying
they won't support me, I had to go through checking out the RAM, each
HD, and so forth, even though the box has three other OSs running
perfectly, namely win2K, SuSE 9.3, and Mepis 3.3 of which I had
identified at the start of the tech support request
