Hi -
I have been testing different versions of Red
Hat: 9.0, Fedora CORE 1, and RHWS 3 Update 1, for use with hosting a web
site.
I have a Compaq Presario S4020WM deskstop as a
"test box" that has a PCI SCSI controller: I am also using the an IDE
drive, too.
(SCSI controller proc output from a Fedora
installtion on the same box)
Chip NCR53C810a, device id 0x1, revision id
0x23
On PCI bus 0, device 7, function 0, IRQ 11 Synchronous period factor 25, max commands per lun 32 This is a pretty conventional controller that RH
9.0 and Fedora was able to detect, and install the driver during the OS
installation, and was able to support numerous disks and a tape drive on an old
DEC BA356 shelf.
(proc output)
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: DEC Model: TLZ09 (C)DEC Rev: 0173 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: DEC Model: RZ1CB-CA (C) DEC Rev: LYJ0 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00 Vendor: DEC Model: RZ1CB-CA (C) DEC Rev: LYJ0 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00 Vendor: DEC Model: RZ1CB-CS (C) DEC Rev: 0844 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: CyberDrv Model: CW058D CD-R/RW Rev: 15HD Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 For whatever reason, RHWS 3 Update 1 could not
detect this controller. I built several kernels using the i686 and Athlon
config files and left SCSI support as a module, or forced the load, but I could
not get RHWS to see the card.
How do you get SCSI support with Red Hat Work
Station 3? This seems rather "odd" that the Enterprise version of the
operating system couldn't handle a fairly standard SCSI controller, where the
other "free" versions could. I am looking through the docs to see what I
might have done wrong, but I can't see anything. Did RH drop support for
this controller for the Enterprise version?
Thanks,
TK
