How to configure adapatec 29320

I don´t know how to configure the adaptec 29320.

I Can´t install any linux....

To install with Slackware, use the boot kernel adaptec.s, it should detect the drive and allow you to run cfdisk on /dev/sda... or whichever drive.

Basically, more information... what drives, how many, what distro have you tried, what problems are you having, etc...

Re: How to configure adapatec 29320

The Linux kernel appears to have problem with this new SCSI card. When I use kernel 2.4.22-pre8, the situation is better. Therefore the only thing we can do is to wait for the official release of 2.4.22.

:) thanks, for help.

But... I see the driver in adaptec page....
there is a way...

but I´m really new in the world linux, and I don´t know how put the driver and recompile it.

I´m going to try ..............

PS. Sorry for the errors....

You are trying to install on one of the scsi drives and what happens when you boot adaptec.s, does it probe the scsi channel during boot?

It should look something like:

Code:

i91u: PCI Base=0xDC00, IRQ=11, BIOS=0xC8000, SCSI ID=7

i91u: Reset SCSI Bus ...

scsi0 : Initio INI-9X00U/UW SCSI device driver; Revision: 1.03g

  Vendor:          Model: CD-R/RW RW7060S  Rev: 1.30

  Type:  CD-ROM                            ANSI SCSI revision: 02

  Vendor: IBM      Model: DDRS-39130D      Rev: DC2A

  Type:  Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 8, lun 0

SCSI device sda: 17850000 512-byte hdwr sectors (9139 MB)

 sda: sda1 sda2

Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray

The driver on the adaptec page is the same as the one in the kernel, so its just a matter of getting a default kernel to load.

cmleungive,

I've seen this problem also with different adaptecs and 2.4.20, are you certain its the exact same card? Also, do you know if 2.4.21 works because Slackware has a precompiled series of those (to get around the ptrace bug).

It´s ok.

Well, I boot from red hat 8, in the advice (not found any hd) I choose add device scsi ok. So I put de driver from adptec´s page, press F2 OK again, and, there is! adaptec Aic79xx U320 SCSI

Then I proceed with the instalation

Thanks for the help.

Today the kernel 2.6 has the module for it.....

same problem with my PE SC 1425

same problem with my PE SC 1425. Cannot find SCSI hard disk.
