Hi, I’m trying to install Debian Linux on a Compaq
Prosignia VS. I cannot find any info on the Compaq Site on installing Linux in
any flavor in this kind of machine. I get trough the boot proces pretty easily until a
partition needs to be made and the system finds out it cannot find the HDD. Probably it doesn’t recognize the SCSI-controller. The only clue I can find inside the system is a chip
with NCR printed on it. I’ve tried to use the boot-argument for an NCR-based
SCSI controller : “sym53c8xx=safe:y” However without any result. I get an error “Could not
find kernel image: sym53c8x.x=s” Can anybody help me? In my opinion it’s a shame to
throw away this server while it still is good enough for Linux. If you need any additional information about the
machine, let me know. Best regards Marcel Verdonk mverdonk@nl.mainetti.com |
