I have a problem with the latest releases including Knoppix 3.9, mandrake 9.1 and mandrake 10.1, they all hang installing the scsi module. I have found that only mandrake 8.2 and Debian 3.0 vanilla kernel see my scsi cards. The standard Debian 3.0 install hang at 5% when loading the scsi module, it sees it correctly but goes no further. I have two scsi cards, one is a Adaptec AHA2940 and the other is a Advansys ABP940-UW, both can be seen with Debian or mandrake latest installers and say their loading the same modules as mandrake 8.2 but hang. Even though mandrake 8.2 fly's strait thought the module install and continues. so i installed with vanilla which is Samba3:/etc# uname -a Linux Samba3 2.2.20 #1 Sat Apr 20 11:45:28 EST 2002 i686 GNU/Linux I don't know how to proceed with the latest installers :o( Many thanks for your reply :o) -----Original Message----- From: Mitchell Laks [mailto:mlaks@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 29 June 2005 7:20 pm To: linux-raid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: problems creating my first raid 1 on debian On Wednesday 29 June 2005 08:05 am, you wrote: > I've been using Mandrake Linux for a few years now, and always preferred > LM8.2 because it was supposed to be the most stable version they have > produce to date.

You are using an out of date Debian. The latest debian stable is Sarge. Download the new sarge installer and you should be ok.... I have used Sarge for over 6 months on servers....
