Hello,
I've been trying for the past while to install RULE on an old Compaq
Prosignia 500 server (150MHz, 128MB) that I have. Other distros are
able to install w/ a little tweaking, but with RULE I've been having a
really hard time having it detect my SCSI hard drive. The machine has
on-board SCSI with a Promise Ultra ATA 100 card with an ATA drive
attached (I don't expect to be able to detect this until after RULE is
installed, since I need the drivers for the card). I am able to get it
to detect my CD ROM drive & mount the RULE CD to /mnt/cdrom & link
/dev/scd0 to /dev/cdrom by loading the scsi_mod.o, sr_mod.o &
ncr53c8xx.o modules. I can browse the files on the CD, when I switch
back to my first session to run the install, it tells me that it wasn't
able to locate the CD ROM & offers to let me select it (cdrom). Then
when I get to the point where it asks me which device I would like to
install RULE on, I have no options to choose from. What should I do?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
