Installing on scsi raid drives

[Geoff Rainey]

I have recently had the same problem with an Adaptec scsi raid
controller
(7901x) whereby the install would not detect the disks. Since this
Adaptec
Controller driver should have been available for this install, I had to 
select "linux noprobe" to forcibly load the driver manually which
resolved 
my issue - though caused another issue resulting in a kernel recompile
of a 
kernel.org kernel.

These issues are generally resolved by the availability of a "driver
disk" for
A piece of hardware from the manufacturer's website, such as the HP site
under 
support and drivers, if you're using HP gear.

Regards,
Geofrey.

Unfortunately, It does not see the drive.  It is a working drive because
it has an older version of another Linux running on it.
