Re: [Plug] Compaq Prosignia
|
If I remember correctly, (I haven't checked, and I'm not sure) CPQ's EISA
subsystem is not supported by Linux. I had a Proliant 2500 with Linux, (RH 5.2)
and I think the NIC I had to rip out and put in a PCI, same for the SCSI card.
But, I can't remember clearly, it was a pretty chaotic time. It's unusual to me
to have both EISA and PCI in the same machine, which is why I am doubting
myself.
Peace,
Vale

I can't get it to work on their new 1600 series either. Can anyone help us?

Well, for the time being I've given up on the autoforwarding. I'll just
have my
brother get an email address, they're cheap enough anyway.

Now, on to other problems. My brother got a compaq prosignia 486Dx/66
and I've been trying to get linux to install on it. (We both hate windows
and he loves the applications (and games) that come with redhat.) The
problem is that the compaq comes with the ncr53c710 eisa fast scsi 2
controller. I haven't been able to get the card to be recognized using
the ncr53c7,8xx driver. The old scsi howto document really is out of
date and is no help whatsoever. Has anyone had any luck getting one
of these systems to work? Does anyone know if the ncr53c7,8xx driver
will work on this system (or does this require some kernel hacking?).
