Hello,
I have 2 SCSI disks with a Ultra2 SCSI interface (this one here: http://www.fujitsu.com/downloads/COMP/fcpa/hdd/discontinued/mag3182-3091_dat...) and I am trying to find a controller that is old enough to be supported by Fedora Core 1 out of the box.
What is the easiest way to find such a controller? Meaning how/where do I find out which SCSI controllers were supported by Fedora Core1 out of the box?
I did a quick google search but did not come up with anything promising...
Thanks,
MARK

---- supported out of the box is relative since Fedora Core 1 is for all purposes dead and has been for quite some time.
RHEL-3 or equivalents... CentOS-3, Scientific-Linux-3 would give you virtually the same gcc/packages as Fedora Core 1, with better SCSI hardware support, better defined devices and at least still security updates.

What I would do is pick up a copy of the source of the kernel you plan on using, and look at the SCSI chip sets/board supported. Then pick a SCSI controller to match. Because the SCSI controller have not changed that much over the years, you will probably find that the same controllers are supported in kernel versions 2.0 through 2.6, but I have not checked this. SCSI controller support tends to be fairly complete because they are more common in servers.
