I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have any familiarity with this server? It uses the Super X6DH8-G2 motherboard. Currently, we've added an Adaptec 2120S Ultra320 RAID PCI Controller Card to get RAID 5 capability. The installation bombs and from what I can tell it looks like we're getting SCSI resets or the controller is going offline maybe. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. -- <<JAV>>

That is an EM64T chipset. Are you installing the i386 version of CentOS, or the x86_64 version. How much ram is in it? jrw On Fri, Jan 07, 2005 at 02:08:53PM -0400, Joe Polk wrote:> I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have any familiarity with this > server?

Not sure if this is related or not, because it's a different card. The solution to my problem was to run an SMP kernel, even though I didn't have any SMP machine. Something with the uniprocessor kernel caused problems very similar to what you are describing. And my problem was not just with CentOS or RedHat....it was the same with all linux distros (kernels 2.4 and 2.6). This problem sucks because almost all installers that I know of use a uniprocesser kernel. Depending on how bad you want it, you could create a custom installer that uses an SMP kernel. That's what I had to do. -Ryan
