My apologies fro posting to both lists, but this is a question that I think applies to both... Finally managed to get linuxppc installed, from the CD, onto my Beige G3 minitower. It has a PCI Ultra-Wide SCSI card and 2 4Gb UW SCSI disks of that card. I had to install it onto a 1Gig Jaz cart because of the following problems: No matter how well partitioned my drives were (with Mac pdisk), the intaller would not see them, and pdisk in the linux X installer environment would not see them. In fact, it would see not partitions at all of any kind. When I formated and partitioned a Jaz cart, with the drive on the external, ordinary SCSI bus, it was seen by the installer and things went fine from there. So, my questions are: - what PCI UW SCSI cards are supported in the final version - are there any plans to support others (I am assuming that the one that came in my box is not supported!) or - does this problem sound like it has nothing to do with the card? Thanks for any help!!
