Howdy,
Actually I have changed scsi id on my second (Barracuda) drive to 1
and tried agan ... - Nothing changed (Unfortunately) Well, I diconnected my 
hdd id 0 situation stays the same... pproblem still persists.:(
So I wonder if this could be because of Barracuda ... Had somebody 
has problems with Seagate Barracudas HDD (Narrow)?
I think the only right way to install RedHat is to change back to 4.2 
(because it works just fine for me ) and try to figure out problems with 
new AIC driver...
