We have recently aquired a new Dell Precision 670 workstation, on which we intended to install linux, (Suse 9.1). In the install, is reports it can not find any hard drives. We think we have tracked this problem down to the AIC-7901 hostRAID SCSI controller. From what I we can gather, linux no longer has drivers for hostRAID hardware. We don't care about having RAID, > just a working system, so we would be content to simply disable the hostRAID. the problem is, the setup tool does not have any option to disable hostRAID.
Hello Murray, I have got the same machine (Dell Precision 670 workstation) here, and after trying severel ways of installing SuSE Linux 9.2 on it, I'm almost becoming desperate and I begin to hate SuSE Linux. I just wonder if you finally succeeded to install SuSE 9.1 on your machine? If so, I'm asking you, how you did it. I really hope you can give me some advice.
