After trying RedHat 7.2 and 7.3 without success, I'm now
trying to install Suse 8.2 on a Fasttrack Promise 133 Raid1 array. The
system boot on the array, where there is already Win2k
installed.
I first tried to install Linux on another partition of the same array
and, more recently, I have tried on a different hard disk under a normal
IDE controller. In both cases I obtained the same answer, as
follow.
I'm using the instruction contained on Suse website at the page:
http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/tsaupe_promise_8.2.html
Following these instructions all is ok until, after installation, I
try to boot the installed system from Installation CD: the root partition
is not detected and the system on it is not started (all freeze, except a
lightening cursor).
If I try to boot from Grub, installed on the MBR of the array, Win2k
starts correctly while Linux stops in a Kernel panic.
What to do to boot linux? Besides, on Suse normal installation there is
no more the chance to create a boot floppy.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Wishes,
Stefano
