|
|
im trying to perform a fresh install of 1.1a stage3 onto a 4GB Segate SCSi drive. when i boot up my scsi drive is detected and i am prompted to insert the modules aic7xxx and scsi_mod, along with natsemi for my NIC. however once the install boots and i setup networking, i cannot find my scsi drive. i try fdisk /dev/sda but it cant find it. i looked under /dev and founno sd* devices. i did find a folder /dev/scsi, but couldnt seem to figure out what was in there exactly.
is there a different naming convention under gentoo for scsi devices? has anyone ran into this issue? im new to gentoo and scsi, maybe im missing something obvious.
Thanks. |

|
|
well i guess that means the naming scheme is /dev/sd?, and there is no /dev/sd? listed on my machine after i modprobe aic7xxx and scsi_mod. the scsi bios lists the hard drive on boot and the kernel detects it also, i wonder what the issue is. ill do some more messing around i guess. thanks for the help.
anyone else have this issue? |

I couldn't find my disks at install time either, I think a "modprobe sg" and "modprobe sd_mod" fixed this. Also load sr_mod if you have a scsi cdrom.
Good luck,

I have a couple of Seagate SCSIs too... and 'definitly' you should modprobe sd_mod for disks and modprobe sr_mod for CDs...
as I couldn´t find them with fdisk too... |

I'm having the same problem, if I test with tomsrtbt I can access the disks... The modprobe detects the controller with no problems on Gentoo 1.2 CD-boot...
I've done:
modprobe aic7xxx
modprobe sd_mod
modprobe sg
mknod /dev/sda b 8 0
And still can't fdisk /dev/sda... |
