my old system-pro is sitting in the garage :( had the older controller with the 8 200 meg drives in it.. eventually gave up on it.. i could never get it to run for any length of time when telling it about the added memory (it had 96 megs) and it would choke heavily when doing any kind of filesystem activity.. wished i had better luck cause it was a damn nice machine in it's day Andrew -----Original Message----- From: Frans J King [mailto:bLEam@lin-x-pert.com] Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2001 3:59 PM To: compaqandlinux@van-dijk.net Subject: [compaq-and-linux] redhat 7 with compaq systempro/xl I have an old 486 systempro xl server with a Comapq smart 2/e raid controller onboad. How on earth do I install Linux on it. i have tried using the boot disk with the following command: linux cpqarray=eisa:0x1000 The raid controller is in slot 1, but the card does not get detected. Also, does anyone know what the onboard secondary controller is (cdrom) and how I set this up when I boot. I have run 6.1 on a prolient with a smart 2/e with the command: linux smart2=0x1000 when I boot from the install floppy, but this does not work with 7 Any ideas? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: compaqandlinux-unsubscribe@van-dijk.net For additional commands, e-mail: compaqandlinux-help@van-dijk.net For the archives : http://www.van-dijk.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: compaqandlinux-unsubscribe@van-dijk.net For additional commands, e-mail: compaqandlinux-help@van-dijk.net For the archives : http://www.van-dijk.net
