[ale] Installing RH onto a IBM PC Server 704

[John Cole]

Howdy all!

We have an old IBM PC Server 704 that I'm trying to re-use as a linux
server.  It has a Quad PPro-200, 1GB ram, 12 4.3GB drives.  RH 7.3 installs
just fine.  After it reboots it kernel panics on the SCSI controller.  It
goes into a loop saying SCSI 0:0:0 does not exist for a few seconds then it
kernel panics.

Has anyone successfully installed linux (specifically RH) onto this type of
machine?  What did you have to do to get it working?  Are there any other
distributions of linux that work better on this hardware?

Thanks,
John Cole, TICSA
