Did the embedded 2940 see the drive as it came up? Have you tried CTRL-A to configure the SCSI adaptor? - and make sure it's settings are the same as the old SCSI adaptor? My P6SAS board (supermicro) arrived with SCSI booting disabled, and IDE booting enabled, with no IDE drives - I got the same errors as your seeing... :-( Regards, Karl Pielorz Cliff Addy wrote: > > I'm trying to upgrade the motherboard in one of our servers running 2.2.2 > from a SuperMicro+Cyrix166 to a SuperMicro+PPro200.
