RE: [sentinix-list] re: installation issues

You MUST have the controller drivers, otherwise you will never be able
to see the hard drives.

I would say check the bios and see if it lists there.  I'm not sure what=

comes standard on that particular unit.  If I had to guess, I'd guess
IDE/ATA/UDMA and Sentinix has the standard drivers for that.

If Gateway used proprietary controllers (many years ago, they did) then
you'd need to download them and include them somehow.  I'm not all THAT
familiar with that part, though.

Thanks for your reply, I'm not sure what kind of drive I have; it is the=

original drive included with the the Gateway GP6-350. Is there a way to
prepare and format the disk using the cfdisk utility? I have used a
console and have run cfdisk to create the bootable Linux partition and
the Linux swap but need to format the drive. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.

      What kind of hard drive(s) do you have in this unit?  It sounds
like the
      driver wasn't loaded for the controller/drives.

      Hello,
     =20
      I am attempting to install Sentinix on a Gateway GPS-350
workstation and
      am running into some issues during the install process. The
workstation
      boots from the cd, I enter 'plain' (the workstation has a single
      processor) and I am presented with a console message that states
"Type
      "install" to enter Sentinix' installation program. If you want a
console
      during install you find them on Alt+F2, Alt+F3 and Alt+F4. Syslog
      messages are on tty12 (Alt+F12)." I type 'install' at the
      root@sentinix:/# prompt. I am then presented with a Sentinix
      Installation Procedure screen. I select the keyboard type
(English) and
      then select number 2 (Start the Installation process) and I
receive the
      following message:
     =20
      "No hard disks found" Press return to continue.
     =20
      If there is a workaround, please let me know.
