Thanks. Looks to be the solution. Couple of problems so far. I have a
Adaptec 2940UW. (re:advice wanted -- Don't buy the 2940- good but,
expensive and Adaptec is not friendly). I have two scsi hard drives at
0:0 and 1:0 and a cd at 6:0. I am attempting to install the 4586NP at
33:0.
At boot:
1. The Archive 4586NP is recognized
2. The Toshiba CD is recognized
Then the message:
No Boot Device Found
Later a kernel panic. linux doesn't seem to find hard drive.
I have not looked to see if there are internal terminators. My Adaptec
software is set at autoterminate. And all of my documentation is in Palo
Alto and I am in Las Vegas.
Any suggestions?
