Can't boot on a machine with LSI Logic 53C1030 Raid controller
Hi there:
I can't boot Debian 3.0 on a machine with this controller. I was not aware
of the errata disk for Woody, but Eduard Bloch informed of such floppy. I
downloaded it, and created the floppy with the extra drivers, but not much
luck. I tried the 'mptbase.o' and 'mptscsih.o' drivers, which I think are
the correct ones for my hardware. I also tried many others just for kicks.
I am wondering if those may be the right drivers, but I need to pass some
additional arguments that I am not aware of.
As I said in my original post to the debian-user list, I know Linux can be
installed as I successfully installed RH 8.0; however, I am resisting
going for RH because it's not my favorite Linux flavor, Debian is.
Looking at the lsilogic site, it appears that the driver is supported by
default in the 2.4 series kernels. I don't know what I am doing wrong, any
help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
