I'm trying to bring up a Debian system from CDROM. I have a CDRW that boots and gets me into the installer. I get to the "Install Operating System and Kernel modules" step, I pick "cdrom" and "SCSI" and it claims
"No SCSI adapter was detected, so I cannot access a SCSI CD-ROM drive...". I go to a shell and dmesg says ... Failed initialization of WD-7000 SCSI card! scsi : 0 hosts. scsi : detected total. ... The drive is a Yamaha SCSI 16x16x4 CDRW. The controler is an Adaptec 2970UW. I have booted RH 6.0 using this drive and controler, so hardware failure odds are low. Do I have to tell the kernel something special at the boot: prompt? I tried various settings of boot: linux aic7xxx=something, but to no avail. Please help! Note that I can't subscribe to debian-user, so if you could kindly foward replies along I'd be grateful. Also if I've addressed this question incorrectly, please clue me.
