Dell 1600sc SCSI probs with Slack 13.1
Hi - I hope I'm posting this in the right place. Forgive me if I'm not doing this right.
I have an old Dell 1600SC PowerEdge server with 2 SCSI adapters.
One adapter is on the mother board. - It is an LSI 'non-raid' SCSI adapter and about the only thing I can offer is that it displays "MPTBIOS-5.06.04" during POST.
The other adapter is on a PCI-X card. Also by LSI and it is a PERC4 SC RAID adapter.
My SCSI disks are in a hot-swap drive array and are connected to the controller ia a cable with only connectors on each end.
Obviously, I only use one adapter at a time.
The LSI PERC4 adapter (in the PCI-X slot) works flawlessly. - I was able to install Slack-13.1 with no problems and it runs really great.
My problem is that Slack 13.1 CD doesn't seem to recognize my on-board SCSI adapter. - It looks the kernel is seeing the LSI adapter and loading the Fusion MPT base driver 3.04.13 but then there's an ioc0: error - someting about a doorbell ack timeout.
After I finally boot, a 'fdisk -l' shows nothing.
Am I missing a module somewhere or what? - It's really not that big of a thing except I would like to get it working to run some bench tests between the on-board SCSI and the PERC4 adapter(s).
Thanks in advance.
