How about bus termination?
>>> Russ Brewer <russ@laker.net> 06/14/98 08:20pm >>>
I am adding a 2nd SCSI hard drive to my system. First drive works
fine.
It is a 1 gig Conner. It has been running well for a long time using an
Adaptec
1542CF
The 2nd drive is a quantum 850 meg. When installed, the 2nd drive is
recognized by the bios. This is good! Using "Ctrl a" during boot to
reach the SCSI diagnostics works fine and the second drive formats
without problem.
Media verification worked too. This drive, while used, is known to be
functional.
The SCSI card is an Adaptec AHA 1542CF and has been running the first
drive without problem for a long time.
The problem is that the second drive is interfering with the first
drive, in that the system recognizes the existance of both but will not
let the first drive boot.
If the second drive is disconnected the first drive boots fine, every
time.
I am running Red Hat 5.0. All required device files seem to be present.
First Drive: SCSI ID 0
Second Drive: SCSI ID 2
Adaptec 1542: SCSI ID 7
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
