Re: scsi Hard drive not found during installation



Hi,

What isos are you using?

If you are trying with the stable version, try booting the
installation with kernel 2.4.18.
If it doesn´t work, you can use the new debian installer for sarge:
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

Good luck!
