Re: esp_scsi in the installer doesnt' detect disks
Nick,
As far as I know, the ESP driver is still broken. Somebody on the
Aurora list said they may be able to have a go at fixing it, but I
haven't heard anything since. I have the same problems with my
Sparcstation 20. One suggestion could be that you do an install
across the network, from another machine, or install Sarge, then do a
dist-upgrade.
Unfortunately due to various problems associated with ESP, I am
currently using OpenBSD. It went straight on my machine, but I don't
know how to configure it, and it's not GNU/Linux!
I look forward to ESP being fixed. Unfortunately I don't have the
skills to contribute, myself.
Cheers,
Chris.
