drnizeguy Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Hi there, I have here an old compaq prosignia 486 server, with NCR 53C710 SCSI controller. No IDE, only 3 SCSI drives and a floppy drive. Now, I'm, trying to install Debian (over network), but it doesn't find my drivers. on the debian site I found that this controller isnt support by debain. So, whats a other good linux distro? Slackware gives also errors.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
configure Veteran Posted December 24, 2002 Veteran Share Posted December 24, 2002 If both debian and slack are giving you trouble, then try some Redhat oriented distro. You can find a whole bunch of them in the link below... https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=...f=30&t=40533&s= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zivan56 Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 I found this somewhere: Only 53c8xx are supported on all archs. 53c7xx issupported on Linux/m68k in particular; ISA and PCI versions are definitely not supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezz Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 You can try install FreeBSD. I remember, I installed one for my friend that has NCR and it regozined, but I don't remember what exactly model number. BSD has the better SCSI/RAID support than Linux from my experience.

MulletRobZ Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 m68k? I don't think that is supported in Mandrake, when I checked the Kernel arch directory for Mandrake-Linux 9.0. There is no m68k listed in the kernel archive directory (/usr/src/linux-2.4.19-16mdk/arch). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
