In some BIOSes, you go into the integrated peripherals section of the setup and it will have a spot for the SCSI controller and you can select any of RAID/SCSI/disabled.

Check your BIOS and see if it has anything like that to disable the RAID portion on that controller. > > > > > > > On Mon, 13 Dec 2004 16:04:08 +0000, murray evans <m.evans@xxxxxxxxx> > > wrote: > >> 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.
