Re: Install report SGI1450
That's great.
I know the SGI people have problems with the scsi driver, as show in
e.g. the last citation in this mail.
Did you see all tree scsi controllers?
Did you compile the ncr driver in (i.e. no initrd and driver not as a
module)?
If yes then mail "Linda Walsh" <law@sgi.com> and tell her about your
success.
