Re: [PLUG] Adaptec 3805 w/ CentOS
|
It's been awhile for me and Redhat but how did you configure your partitions. How big is /boot, and is there a /boot? If I'm not mistaken /boot needs to be around 100mb or in the first 1024 cylinders. They may have changed that as like I said it's been a while for me and Redhat. Opensuse & Suse you don't have that issue.
I would love to come over an play but I have a day job; sorry. You mite also want to call Adaptec Tech Support. I remember their support not being all that horrible with the exception of extremely long hold times and you having to need that very annoying TSID when you call.
