Problem with disks on ES40
O-Zone
i've problems installing Linux on ES40 because kernel cannot see disks.
Here's dmesg on my latest attempt with Gentoo 2008:

Hardware is OK, because with the installed HP-UX all works well.
Any help ?

You may want to look at this article re the Adaptec raid controller and
linux

which lacked support for this hardware.
Blackb|rd (in #gentoo-alpha on Freenode) is creating him a new ISO,
which should remedy the situation.
O-Zone should have replied to his own topic when the problem was
identified and a solution put in place.

yes, you're right. Sorry but i'm not skilled with UNIX systems :-D

Yes, i've already read that ut is not so useful. Problems seems that
Adaptec SmartRAID V Controller is based under i2o. I've tried with i2o
modules without success, as you can see there:

Yes, i've tried the ISO by Blackbird with i2o support but we don't
resolve the problem. Seems that DPT support for alpha (64bit) is not
available...
