[ale] NCR 5380 SCSI Adapter Slackware vs RedHat

[John Clover]

I've been struggling with a Compaq Prolient 1600R with a NetFlex
Controller, I tried the slackware bootdisk for the n_5380.s (NCR 5380)
and it finds the SCSI Device but times out, and aborts on scanning the
SCSI Bus... So.. In order to get the server up and running, I got a
RedHat boot disk, and wow.. it detected the scsi card and the drive.. I
Really don't want to run RedHat... if anyone knows how to convience the
n_5380.s boot disk to find and use the drive correclty, be it Linux
boot: options or anything, I'd love to get this system up running
slackware and not RedHat.

Thanks,
John Clover
