Re: Re: [Sheflug] Unable to Install SuSe Linux 7.3

Many many thanks for your help.

I too realised that CDROM Drive is a bit Old and kranky. When CD unbundle the Kernel then i saw the message

request_module [scsi_hostadapter]:Root fs is not mounted

It seems to me that Linus default kernel is not coming with SCSI driver. Then i found that SCSI adapter are supplied in a Floppy disk along with SuSe 7.3 8 CD Pack. But when i unloaded the ScSi Drived in to Ram from FLoppy disk then it listed many driver. Now i am not sure which driver i should install and also when i click on any one of them then it ask for some parameter. I dont know what parameters should be provider. I will appreacite your help very much.

Thanks again.
