ok, i've determined that the AIC-7899 controller is being detected as device ahc0... the problem of no disks still persists... my question now is, does this have to do with the fact that the two disks were setup as a RAID0 array in adaptec's RAID controller setup utility (this scsi controller has a RAID addon, AIO-xxxx if i recall)? i have seen from the mailing list archives that 4.0-STABLE does work on these things in RAID mode, but at the moment i'm just wanting to get 4.0-R installed on the box... adam On Wed, 28 Jun 2000, Adam Staudt wrote: > i've seen some threads about this previously, specifically relating to the > AIC-7899 scsi controller... > > my experience up to now has been with IDE, so i may be just making a silly > mistake here, but, what is happening is, i boot the 4.0-R kern and mfsroot > disks, launch into the installer, but it reports that no disks are > found. i can't see the bootup scroll quickly enough to tell if ahc0 is > being detected, and i don't see an ahc device in the pre-install kernel > config dialog.
