Problem w/ New Install - IDE RAID PIII Dual CPU

[josel]

Trying to install SCO UNIX 5.0.6. At boot time, HDs are not found ...

Server has dual CPU on a Tyan MB with two 40GB HDs on
integrated RAID IDE.

Can I install SCO on this box?
If so, what must I do?

Thank you all in advance!


Jose

As far as I know Openserver 5.0.6a does not support the ATA raid controller. Both Tyan and Promise do not have sco drivers. If there is a driver out there you would need to load it as a BTLD (boot time loadable driver)

I was affraid of that :-(

I spent countless hours searching for BTLD and came
up empty handed.

I ended up trying to install on a Intel P4 on Intel MB
with 512 MB/RAM DDR and 60 GB HD

Just as the media is loaded and memory checked ... the
screen goes blank ... I know this is the very first page
where you are aked to <Press ENTER to continue> and just
before you are asked to type in activation key.

I tried at least three different display cards and they
all do same.

I then pulled out my old 5.0.5 and installed without a
problem. However, although 24/25 lines are shown on
screen, text from last page scroll up from bottom of screen
as you list new text ...

In other words, if I listed a directory twice, the first page shows OK but the second page shows top of first page in lower session of screen ... You can see text scroll up
from down under.

What do you think the problem?

Regards;

Jose
