So far - no traction on Redhat Seawolf list so I'll post this here too.

SCSI Subsystem:
SCSI-3 Controller (1) Integrated Adaptec 7880 Ultra-wide
Also has - and this is probably part of the problem
an Adaptec 1000 Family Raid Array Controller / dual channel
Install is good, but won't boot from hard drive. Boots from floppy.
I have 3 problems with this that I would like to fix.
1. Boot from hard drive
2. Be able to use hardware RAID - I set it up with software RAID because
it listed both hard drives and it shouldn't have. I used the hardware
RAID with WinNT with no problem so I know that it works.
3. Use SMP - it is a dual processor. I would compile a kernel but it
won't work until I can boot from hard drive. I've already tried to
upgrade kernel - rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.3.etc and as you will see from
/boot, it put the parts there, it created the modules but it didn't fix
lilo and it obviously still requires the old floppy to boot.
Anyway, I will include in this order...
/etc/lilo.conf
/var/log/dmesg
output of lspci
output of ls -l /boot
for those inclined to help me. My apologies to the uninterested for
sending a longer email.
Thanks
