Re: Debian Alpha install CD ignoring QLogic 2200 card ?

["Andrei A. Dergatchev" <A.Dergatchev@tn.utwente.nl>]

Hi,

Thanks for you answers !

My machine is SX. Yeah, it's not very well suited perhaps,
with video/network/SCSI and now QLA I don't have any PCI
slots left :-(
400 GB is a huge array :-) ! You must be using 73 Gig drives ?
I'm hoping to get a few 73 Gig Seagates for my enclosure.
I wonder do you have Quantum, IBM or Seagate drives ? Would
be interesting to compare them between each other one day.

I found QLA2200 Series
                               - Software Installation Guide
                               - Hardware Installation Guide
at http://www.qlogic.com/techsupport/documentation.html
and I hope that their description of installation for Redhat
(reading it now) will work with Debian too.

Regards,

Andrei
