DPT SCSI cards

[David Bayne <dbayne wjusd k12 ca us>]

I am attempting to install RH 6.1 on an AST Premmia 486/96 MB RAM, 
with a DPT 3222 SCSI interface. I have tried unsuccessfully to 
install both RH 6.1 and Caldera 2.2 on this machine, but both say 
they cannot see the SCSI CD-Rom and Hard Drives. I have no IDE 
devices on the machine. Network card is a 3Com 3C509B, but the error 
(described below) happens whether the card is installed or not.

According to DPT tech support, I should be able to use EATA_DMA 
(which they say is on the installer disk) to see the drives. However, 
when I select it from the installer list, I get an error and it asks 
what type of drive I have again.

I downloaded the most current install disks, with no help. I also 
tried an "expert" and "text" install, but with no change. In fact, I 
still get the exact same install screens.

I tried selecting "hard drive" install source, but I get the same 
thing. Apparently, Linux is not locating the SCSI controller.

I have another machine with a DPT 3222 SCSI controller that gives the 
exact same error.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
