RE: Minimum memory and Compaq smartarray on 7.1

Ok, here's the output....

I reinstalled 7.0 default server install.

I tried passing /dev/ida/c0d0p8 at the boot: prompt but I get the same
results as before.  Hope you can see something I'm missing.  RH7.0 installed
without a hitch.

Thanks.

You might try using Tom's RootBoot disk.  It's Linux on a single bootable
floppy and is very useful for checking out situations where the install
never really gets off the ground.

Get it from http://www.toms.net/rb/
