Hi ,
I am trying to install linux on Apollo 735 . The system boots normally (
serial console, from cd image 0.9.2) . When i reach the point to install
the kernel  and the modules , the installer starts the installation and
gives message 
ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: No such device or address 

Can somebody help me ?

The installer gives that message for everyone, but normally it
immediately continues with the install.  What disks are you trying
to install on to?  I don't believe the internal wide scsi disks
are supported atm, but people have installed on to external narrow
disks.

I have 2 disks which are connected to fast wide SCSI but they are not
recognized by the kernel.

I am installing the system on /dev/sdb

When i got the message , I have waited for more than 30 min .

Can you try adding   sim700=noneg:0xff,nodisc:0xff   to the boot params
please.  Say 'yes' to the interact with IPL question if that machine
gives you one, else perhaps append 'isl' to the bo command.  Then just
modify one of the existing params to append that string.

The system just stop 
The boot parameters are :
0: 0/vmlinux
 1: root=/dev/ram
 2: initrd=0/ramdisk
 3: console=ttyS0
 4: TERM=vt102
 5: sim700=noneg:0xff,nodisc:0xff
 6: isl

And the output is:

That's not good.  Can you try with just   sim700=nodisc:0xff
please.

The same problem as before.
The cd-rom is on the scsi bus , can this be the problem.
At the beginning the kernel gives message for the devices and it
recognizes two scsi 
3. Outfield Core SCSI (10) at 0xf0825000, versions 0x9, 0x0, 0x71, 0x0,
0x04
9. Outfield FW SCSI (10) at 0xf0830000, versions 0x9, 0x0, 0x7c, 0x0,
0x0
but the second one is not configured.

It shouldn't be a problem, but you could try mounting the CD on
a server and then installing via nfs or http, so only one device is
active on the the scsi bus.

That is the one you are using.

Right, it is not supported in the kernel atm.
