I'm a rank amateur here - but there are squillions of these DPT PM2144UW SCSI RAID Caching Controllers out there in the real world - including the ones I have. I looks to me as though the gentoo installer detects the card and then tries to use the i2o drivers for it - this isn't an i2o card and it doesn't work. I cannot see any other drivers in the library that are appropriate for this beastie? Help, please.
Hi, Please give me some more information. The problems lies in the PCI id database. Please send me the output of "lspci" and "lspci -n" Regards, Guido Bakker
Thanks for taking an interest in this. Much appreciated. "lspci" and "lspci -n" both produce identical output. 00.00.0. Class 0600: 1106:0691 (rev c4) 00.01.0. Class 0604: 1106:8598 00.04.0. Class 0601: 1106:0596 (rev 23) 00.04.1. Class 0101: 1106:0571 (rev 10) 00.04.2. Class 0c03: 1106:3038 (rev 11) 00.04.3. Class 0600: 1106:3050 (rev 30) 00.0a.0. Class 0401: 1073:0010 (rev 02) 00.0b.0. Class 0100: 1044:a400 (rev 02) 00.0d.0. Class 0200: 10b7:9055 (rev 30) 01.00.0. Class 0300: 121a:0009 (rev 01) Hope this makes sense to you - its all Swahili to me :-(
Hi, That "Swahili" are PCI IDs. The numbers reflect a Brand + Model of a PCI device. Which makes it easy to match your hardware. Look at http://pciids.sourceforge.net/ for more info. I looked up your hardware, and it looks like it should load the eata.o module. I already changed this, but this is _not_ included in Gentoo 1.1a, will be in next version. Please try to load the eata module manually to verify and notify me if it works, or doesn't :-). I'm closing this bug, reopen if needed. Regards, Guido Bakker Gentoo Linux Developer
