Re: SCSI CDROM

If you don't mind, I'd like to piggyback onto this. I have a SCSI controller and SCSI drive that are not recognized at install. I am trying to install to two IDE drives and one SCSI. I want to boot from the IDE and put one of my partitions on the SCSI. I can't get the install (either from install disk or IDE CD-ROM) to recognize the card or the drive. I know they are recognized by the system as the IBM diagnostics find them and the Adaptec SCSIFMT.EXE program low level formats the drive and checks the media. I am trying to install RH-7.1.

The comptuer is an old IBM Pentium 100 (1995) with 800 and 500 MB IDE drives and a Quantum Lightning 730MB drive. Any help would be much appreciated. I have seen references in my reference books about being asked if I have any SCSI devices, but at install time it never does, and the drive does not show up in DiskDruid or fdisk.

I have just installed a SCSI CD-RW and a SCSI controller in my system.  =
When I did the original install of RedHat 7.2 I used a IDE CDROM.  I =
added the SCSI stuff after the install.  When I boot up, the kernel sees =
the SCSI controller but does not see the Plexor SCSI CD-RW.  I've used =
dmesg to verify this. The BIOS sees it fine and if I but a Linux boot CD =
it will try to boot off of it.  Does this mean I have to recompile the =
kernel with SCSI CD support or is there another way?  I've used this =
type of CD in other identically  configured Linux boxes and it works =
find, but I have never added one after the install.


Thanks
