PC Server 310 - SCO UNIX installation failure

Applicable to: World-Wide

Abstract :
SCO UNIX fails to install on a PC SERVER 310

Symptom :
During the installation of SCO UNIX, the following error message appears: "PANIC hd:no root disk controller found."

Problem Isolation Aids :
The system is an 8639-xxx with a 1.08GB hard drive FRU p/n06H9079 (Option p/n06H8891) installed.

Fix :
Replace the 1.08GB hard drive with the 1.2GB hard drive FRU p/n07H0390.
All orders for FRU p/n06H9079 will automatically substitute to the new FRU p/n07H0390.

This incompatibility only affects systems with SCO UNIX. This tip does not apply to systems running other operating systems.
