Hi ,
I 'm trying to install slackware 11 on DELL Pe4400.
My server has a raid controller and scsi controller.I specified raid.s
option in slack boot menu.Slackware recognize my raid and disk
controller but does not recognize my scsi controller.I need my scsi
controller.Because My cdrom drive is scsi.I also specified scsi.s
,Slackware detected my scsi controller and cd drive but not raid
controller.
I have specified both parameters " boot : raid.s scsi.s "
But system could not find any controoler.

How Can I solve this problem.Is my boot parameters correct ?

raid.s and scsi.s are kernels, so you can only specify one kernel on the
boot line. If there is no kernel with support for both controllers, you
can:

1. Install Slack on one of both controllers, and load support for the
other controler after the installation, or compile a kernel with support
for both controllers post-install.

2. Add an install kernel with support for both controllers. This is pretty
easy, you can just take the config file for one of both controlers, and
enable support for the other controller. Make sure that you use the same
kernel sources as were used to compile the installation kernels, or you
will not be able to load the pre-compiled modules.

After you have compiled your own kernel, you can put it under its own
directory in the kernels/ directory in the distribution tree, modify
isolinux/isolinux.cfg, and create a new ISO. The process of creating a
bootable Slack ISO is described in isolinux/README.TXT.

no. the first 'parameter' is actually a kernel name. you cannot load more
than one kernel at the same time, thus specifying 'raid.s scsi.s' results
in only loading the first one.

You have a check-and-egg problem if none of the kernels on the
installation CD support both your raid and scsi controllers. It is
common to have to pass parameters to the kernel to have it recognize your
controllers: raid.s <some parameters>. If you put up an article with
details on the raid and scsi controllers you have, including chipset,
irqs, io and memory ranges used, someone may be able to help.

An alternative is to make a DOS partition on one of your drives and copy
enough of the installation files from the CD to your DOS partition to
get linux running. Once you have linux running you can load the correct
modules for your hardware and then use installpkg to install the rest
of the distribution.

If my memory does not fail me. Install the scsi.s as for some reason, if
it has not changed, the RAID support is on by default. I could be wrong,
but that is how Slackware 10.1 boots.

scsi.s has very little raid support.

ok thank you. was not too sure since the RAID support is for some reason
installed without my needing it here.

On another note, Slackware 11?? Personally thought 10.2 the -current was
the latest? Did the Subscription services get you Slackware 11?? A
Curious Mind is not be wasted, lest a joint is passed in that direction,
never underestimate the minds eye, lest it gets poked, then get a
tissue, cause that hurt.
