Hi.
I am trying to install RHEL AS 3 on IBM xSeries 346, but it fails to detect my hard disks. It fails to get a driver for Adaptec SCSI controller. Cribs about aic7xxx.
chk for certification of RHEL 3 on that specific model of x346. >You should be able to get some how / patches from IBM site
The initial setup disk with xSeries server comes with a linux driver, for that matter entire intaller is based on linux (before you choose which OS to install and RAID configuration part). Check that disk but after booting through it.

Thats the way to go while installing windows on the xseries.
Anyway, I had inserted the setup disk into a windows box and searhced for aic*.* in the hope of finding the img file which would help me install Linux, but no luck.

A friend of mine experimented with an IBM server that was to be given to a client and he found the SCSI driver image for windows from the IBM site. So see if you can get drivers for linux too. BTY, I had installed RHEL3 WS on the same server machine without any problem. Only the gigabit ethernet device could not be detected and even after downloading the tar.gz driver for the same and doing the make and make install process, the lan was not up. Then next day he tried Suse 10 and it loaded properly but was slow.
