Hi all,
We have a SCO 6.0 server running on HW with a Prescott platform, and we never had any problems with it so far. Now, we needed to change the HBA controller to a SandyBridge platform, but the system crashes on boot.
We tried several diferent MB, from different manufacturers, and in all the result is the same. Is there any incompatibility between SCO and SandyBridge based hardware?
We also tried installing the SCO from ground zero on the SandyBridge, using the old controller, SCO certified (LSI SAS8880EL, based on LSI 1078 chip) but we could not install correctly also. If we do the same on an older platform, with Prescott HW, using the same controller, we can install it perfectly.
Can you please share some insights about this?
Thanks in advance,
Hugo
