SCSI challenge
It's really nice to get X up with Debian. It really can be done in a
single install (CAN be done, but maybe not the first try!).
Anyway, I took the Windows computer that works as a backup for games
and Word and installed 2.2r2 with X, and it looks and works great -
no mouse problems, nice virtual screen, a nice environment.
What I cannot do yet is get Debian 2.2r2 to speak with my Advansys
SCSI card. Tied to it are a couple of gigabytes of storage I would be
happy to turn over to Deb. Installing the SCSI module didn't help,
and LILO cannot be coaxed into dual-booting Win95 on the first
partition of the SCSI devices (though Windoze boots fine if I disable
the IDE drive were Linux resides.
What are my options to access the SCSI storage through the Advansys
card? Advansys claims to actively support Linux, but offers modules
only for Red Hat and Suse, which I can download - but, hey!, what do
I do with them?
I almost always solve my Linux problems (I have two other vanilla PCs
running Linux as a gateway and a Web server) with man pages and
HOWTOs. But this has me stumped. Can anyone out there direct me to
the right resource?
TIA,
David Bach
