HI,
I'm trying to install Redhat 9 on a machine that only has a SAN attached
disk. Unfortunately it seems to fail.
The SAN controller is a Qlogic 'QLA2312' card and the disk resides on
an IBM Shark ESS.
After booting from floppy and loading the drvblock disk, the qla2200.o
and qla2300.o drivers are loaded and it seems a disk is found.
The messages on console 4 show something like:
LIP reset occured
LOOP UP detected
QLogic QLA 2312 pci .....
Firmware version: 3.01.13 Driver version 6.01.00-fo
and about the disk:
sda: IBM Model 2105F20 rev: .144
It detects the proper size of the disk (e.g. 10G)
and issues the message:
sda: unknown partition type
So apparantly the SAN disk is recognized. However the installation process
still says no valid device for installation is found and asks for other driver
disks!
I tried to build the latest qlogic driver (6.06) but failed to create a proper
module for the install-kernel.
Any hints?
Regards,
-Marcel
