DPT2044W SCSI adaptor with disk installed but no /dev/sd* devices created
Hi, I have a DPT2044W SCSI adaptor identified with lspci -vv as:
00:0a.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec (formerly DPT) SmartCache/Raid
I-IV Con
troller (rev 02)
Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop-
ParErr- Step
ping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium
>TAbort- <TAbort
- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
Latency: 160 (1000ns min, 2000ns max), Cache Line Size: 32 bytes
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 12
BIST result: 00
Region 0: I/O ports at e000 [size=32]
Expansion ROM at ef000000 [disabled] [size=32K]
which has an IBM SCSI disk attached, which contains MS-Windows95 OSR2.
If I set the BIOS to boot SCSI first, the disk is recognised and boots.
I have an IDE disk with sid installed and using 2.6.27 kernel, have the
following scsi messages only in dmesg:
[ 4.619341] Block layer SCSI generic (bsg) driver version 0.4 loaded
(major 254)
[ 12.129340] SCSI subsystem initialized
No /dev/sd* devices get created.
lsmod reports only the following scsi related module:
scsi_mod 131388 1 libata
Does anyone have any sugggestions on how to get Debian GNU/Linux to
create the device files for the SCSI disk and be able to see the disk in
gparted and the like?
Arthur.
