I tried on an old P150 several times. My CD drive was an ancient SCSI drive attached to an AHA-1510. It work(ed)(s) with RH just fine, but Debian (2 different releases) failed to recognize it, passing the same parameters that worked fine with several RH releases. Then I tried on a later model machine, same SCSI card. Still didn't like it. I tried a few months back with Potato and a different machine and different SCSI card. I didn't even need to get it to accept the SCSI because I now have an ATAPI drive. It failed to find the drive and failed 3 different NICs on two different arrangments (2 spearate attempts at installing) as well. But it found the SCSI board just fine. I gave up and won't likely try it again. -- Microsoft: The company that made email dangerous. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
