Re: Adaptec 2930CU SCSI card support



I was trying to install OpenBSD 3.2 from boot floppy "floopyb3.fs" (which is supposed to have the most SCSI support) and it did not find my 4Gb drive which is recognized under windows. I can not boot to CD since my routergateway box is an old 120MHz Pentium.

Should I boot to a different disk?

Thanks,
Bill

I've been using various Linux (RH, Mandrake and Debian) and most
importantly OpenBSD with the Adaptec 2930CU, for what seems to be
about the last 3 years.

With HDD, CDRW and a few DDS drives...

What doesn't work?

I would like to use OpenBSD on my router/gateway box but there is no
support for Adaptec 2930CU.

Back when I petitioned support for the 2930CU with RedHat Linux I was
told that the 2940 driver worked for the 2930 as well. They just had to
recognize the 2930 device type.



To reinforce what Shane said, I just so happened to pick up an Adaptec 2930CU recently, and also just happened to have a machine on the bench it was easy to plug it in to:

Notice the "ahc1" above...

"man ahc" explicitly mentions the 2930CU, and if you really work at
it, I think you can make AHA-2930CU out of what is in i386.html (but I'd have to work at it harder than I wish to at the moment. 8)


(which is way cool, I thought this card wasn't supported myself, I
got it for other reasons, but nice to have another one in the
"compatible" pile. 8)

Nick.
