similar to: Problems booting with SCSI CD (fwd)

Greetings from beautiful Alabama. You have requested for people to let you know if they are having any problem: I am a professor in the Department of Mathematics, Auburn University. Among other activities, I do a lot of Linux installations on older computers, many of which are old Gateway Pentium Pro boxes which came with Adaptec 2940 SCSI cards and SCSI CD. I have burned several Slackware 8.1

H. Peter, I came across the first system where isolinux failed to load: ======================================================= Isolinux 1.63 2001-8-6 Copyright ... isolinux: Starting up, DL = F0 isolinux: Loaded spec packet OK, drive = F0 isolinux: Sector size appears to be 0800 isolinux: Loading main image from LBA, 0003F25D isolinux: Sectors to load = 0004

I am trying to install Debian Linux on an an old Intel Classic R+ computer that uses an internal Yamaha SCSI CD writer model CRW8424S connected to an Adaptec ISA SCSI card (I think its a 1542CP). The CD writer is is the only device connected to the SCSI card. The computer has one hard drive connected to the on-board IDE interface, a 1.44MB 3 1/2 inch floppy and a 1.2MB 5 1/4 inch floppy. The hard

Hello List, I have a problem with an Onborad scsci, that won't boot a isolinux-cd: anyone got a clue? Mainboard is ASUS-CUV4X-DLS with onboard LSI 35c1010-33 Controller. Board-Bios is Award Medaillion 6.0 and Controller Bios is Symbios SDMS v4.0 (4.18.02) The CDRW device to boot from is a Yamaha CRW2100S Rev1.0H I tried Isolinux 1.63 and 1.66 with similar "success": here's

I'm trying to boot Fedora Core 5 Test 3 from either CD or DVD, (which uses ISOLINUX), and I get the error messages: Unknown keyword in config file Could not find kernel image: linux boot: There are at least two other people in the world with the same problem. Unfortunately, all of the rest of the Fedora test community doesn't seem to have a problem with it, so its not a high profile

Hello, does CentOs 5 supports an Adaptec AHA-2940W/2940UW scsi controller (pci)? Is this controller maybe supported by the aic7xxx driver? I want to install CentOS 5 on my desktop pc but the currently installed pci scsi controller for my scanners (drivers: 2x tmscsim, 1x advansys) are not supported by CentOS. So I am searching for something else. Thanks in advanced. regards Olaf

Attached patch allows isolinux to boot from a CDROM attached to a NCR/Symbios/LSIlogic SCSI controller (bios version 4.19). It appears this bios can't read more than 1 sector at the time using the ah=42h int13 call. The isolinux boot was failing early on when 4 sector are read. (bios returned error 0 !) I'm not sure if the same 'getlinsec' routine is called upon later to load

Currently, I have 2 CD-ROM's, 1 IDE, 1 SCSI. ISOLinux works great on the IDE but fails out on the SCSI. I have an Adaptec AHA-2940UW with the BIOS loading the drive. Are you aware of a problem with this controller? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Health - Feel better, live better http://health.yahoo.com

Hi. There's a rescue cd at ftp://ftp.pld.org.pl/people/areq/RescueCD/ that uses isolinux that don't work in my configuration.

Hi, for a specific application we need a low-profile SCSI card (PCI) with external 50pin connector. I thought about getting an "Adaptec SCSI Card 2930LP". However I was not able to find any usable information about wether this card is supported by Linux/CentOS 5.x or not. Does anyone have this card working with a CentOS 5.x machine? Alternatively: Are there any linux-supported

Does anyone have any good or bad driver/performance/stability experiences with either: LSI Logic LSIU320 Adaptec 29320ALP-R or (or other current boards using the same driver) in Opteron servers running RHEL 4 or CentOS 4, x86_64? Thanks in advance. -- Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened

I have an IDE based PC running Linux/CentOS4 to which I wish to attach a scsi dlt. The host controller is an Adaptec AHA3940 something that lspci reports as: SCSI storage controller: Initio Corporation 360P (rev 02). I would like to have the system load the driver for this adapter at boot but I have two problems: 1. I am not sure which driver to use; and 2. I do not know how to force

I tried it on loop. 1. mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/test -t ext3 2. cp files to 100% full 3. umount /mnt/test 4. fsck.ext3 -f /dev/loop0 Inode xxxxx, i_blocks is xxx, should be yyy. Fix?

I have an Infortrend RAID box I'd like to see as one big 6TB partition, but I only can get 2.2TB partitions to work. I was trying to do this with an Adaptec controller but apparently they are only (any of them) 48 bits wide. Does anybody have a working system for SCSI/Centos over 2.2TB?

Hi, some time ago I tried to boot an isolinux boot loader from another one to be able to boot e.g. a Knoppix CD with its original boot loader and menus from a "main" isolinux on a multiboot DVD. This works for isolinux <= 3.07 now! However, newer isolinux boot loaders have some problems and the isolinux (e.g. of the Knoppix CD) loaded from the multiboot DVD's main isolinux

In fact, I discovered that the bug is caused when there is no primary hard disk image (no hard disk 0). When an HD image is created and attached, ISOLINUX works well: ISOLINUX 1.75 2002-06-14 Copyright (C) 1994-2002 H.

I'm new to the ISOLINUX development cycle, and I've tried a few times to come up with a solution. I'm trying to recompile isolinux.bin to look for the config files in a directory other than root, /boot/isolinux, or /isolinux. Ideally, this directory would be /lpc/isolinux. I've tried changing the plain text values in isolinux.asm to reflect these changes and recompiling using
