Suse 10.0/10.1 on a Linux PowerEdge 1950

[Henrik Schmiediche]

The controller (according to YAST) is a Dell SAS1068 PCI-X Fusion-MPT SAS.
Screenshot attached of a Suse 10.1 install. All the devices seem recognized,
but the YAST installed cannot partition anything since it claims no hard
disks are present.

Sincerely,

    - Henrik

That's odd. It works fine on SLES 10, however I haven't used it with
Suse 10. Can you tell me which storage controller you have in the
system? I.e. is it a PERC 5/I or a SAS 5/I?

I realize Dell does not support this, but I was attempting to install
Suse 10.0 or 10.1 on a Dell PowerEdge 1950. The installation fails since
Suse 10 does not recognize any of the hard disks. Strangely, when I ask
Suse for a system inventory (detect hardware) the hard disks and
controller show up just fine.

Has anyone encountered this with Suse or another Linux distribution?
Anyone know what the problem is?

Sincerely,

  - Henrik
