Hi: I'm running current in a Asus Dual Pentium Pro Motherboard. It has 128mb memory, SMC ethernet, adaptec 2940AU and a quantum scsi HD. I wanted to make a full copy of the HD, so I added another Adaptec 2940UW and a Seagate Barracuda of 4gb. My idea was to exchange the disks, and in that way would be faster. I booted the machine, I've mounted the disk, copied all the stuff needed. At that moment, I shutdown the machine, removed the quantum and the 2940AU and restarted it again. It booted, just fine. When it reaches the 'Login: ' prompt, I got a panic, but the messages were so fast that I could not read !! It seems that the disk loose sync... I lost everything in this disk. I've returned the old components and everythyng was fine again. Just to be sure, I've repeated the experience, but now, I copied the disk to the the seagate but removed the big disk and it's 2940UW. I've rebooted, and I got the same panic again ! But now with the adaptec2940au and the quantum disk ! I turned off and on the machine again: this time it came back ! :) Fortunately this time I did not loose the contents of the disk... Anyone has an idea what happens or were I goofed ? :) Another thing I noticed: when I issue a 'shutdown now' and a 'halt' , sometimes I got a 'panic - shutdown not on CPU#0 - automatic reboot in 15 seconds' ... How can I avoid that ? How can I be sure that I'm on CPU#0 when halting ? ps -x ? :) Thanks a lot ! Regards, Helio.
