Hi Guys,
After downloading RH7.3 and conducted a linux mediacheck when at partitioning stage I receive the following error "Partition table on device sda was unreadable. Initialize this drive Yes/No." By selecting Yes the following error occured "no valid devices were found to create new filesystems". Thus the system kills sessions and reboots.
By checking system messages (ctrl+alt+F4) at various points I can determine that the SCSI card and devices where detected.
Though after receiving the final error messege the following system message appears a number of time "parity error detected in data-in phase".
Please bear in mind this machine has been running SuSe without any difficulties.
Machine Spec:
Supermicro P6SBU 196MB Onboard AIC-7890 SCSI ULTRA2/LVD Seagate 9GB LVD
Any help would be great as I am trying to learn this sh*t.
Take Care,
Jamie
Best Regards,
Jamie French

Are you stuck with RH7.3? or can you give RH8.0 a try?

Having struggled with SCSI cards myself in the past to only other suggestion I have is, do you need to add some boot params to the start up?
