In the install, is reports it can not find any hard drives. We think we have tracked this problem down to the AIC-7901 hostRAID SCSI controller. From what I we can gather, linux no longer has drivers for hostRAID hardware. We don't care about having RAID, just a working system, so we would be content to simply disable the hostRAID. the problem is, the setup tool does not have any option to disable hostRAID. Has anyone come across a solution? Is there a driver I don't know of? Is there a way of disabling hostRAID? *PS: From the SuSe install, when we try to add the appropriate SCSI module for the AIC-7901, it fails.
