With a brand new Dell Precision 670 I am trying to install Suse Linux Pro
9.2 but it did not find my 2 SCSI hard drives by telling me "No harddrive
found". I tried to load the AIC79xx module, which seems the correct one for
my SCSI interface (AIC7901), with the manual install process. The problem
in this case is that I have no clue of the syntax and/or values of the
requested parameters.


Thanks for your help

Is this the only hard drive or do you have another more than one on this
system?

There are a couple of disks (two) connected on the same scsi "controller".
There are no other disk "system" like ata or else ...

Is the card a 39320? If so, others have had trouble too. Try loading the
module aic79xx-new instead.

It is not really a card it is a kind of "chip set" on a pci card ...
I already found the driver aic79xx very interesting, but I have no idea
what parameter to enter ar load point ... and without parameters, this load
fails ...

i am having that same problem with the aic79xx module not loading
during manual installation. i think a solution might be to compile a
new kernel with the module as a part of the kernel, and then use that
to boot. if anyone knows of any good instructions on how to do this,
that would be greatly appreciated.
