[Glastonbury] hi can anyone help with this query?

[steve]

"I'm a programmer for IBM and I have a pretty extensive home network.
 
I am trying to get my IBM PC Server (circa 1995!) to run SuSe linux 9.3.
 
A bit of a tall order as the server architecture is:
 
SCSI and RAID:
 
SCSI card is a Mylex DAC960LB DB1
RAID config is RAID 5 for 4 SCSI hard disks which adds up to a 6 gig 
logical partition.
SCSI cdrom (and no the bios doesn't allow a boot from cd - typical of 
PCs up until mid 90s)
 
So I have got some boot disks for Suse 9.3 and I'm running into trouble 
with bootdisk2.
 
It won't boot beyond that in install, noacpi or failsafe mode.
 
I'm guessing the Suse boot image doesn't like something about my 
hardware... don't know what...
 
Any help you can give me on this would be appreciated. As a last resort 
I'm going to look for an old PC to buy which is IDE not SCSI and with a 
bootable CDRom - do you know how I might buy one?
 
I'm basically trying to set up a linux node which can run CVS 
(concurrent versions system - code repository for the projects I 
freelance on in my spare time) so it doesn't have to be a top notch system.
