Ok i fixed my subject a bit. Well I've tried FreeBSD (4.4, 4.8, 5.0), SuSE Linux 8.1, Redhat 9.0. All these operating systems fail to detect the hdd and when trying to loa= d the=20 scsi drivers for it it gives timeout errors (redhat & suse). FreeBSD gives: (noperiph:sym0:0:-1:-1):SCSI BUS reset delivered. =09=09=09(noperiph:sym1:0:-1:-1):SCSI BUS reset delivered. This made me think that it might be a problem with the hardware configura= tion. I've got two exactly the same machines. Both give exactly the same error. I changed the scsi configuration on one machine. Trying different setting= s. No=20 change. (except for the few times where my changes disabled the hdd and i= t=20 couldn't find any OS). I installed the FreeBSD putting the drives into=20 another HP server (which btw also happens to be a Netserver LH3r), and=20 putting them back afterwards. Booting of the cd gives the same error. What does the error: "(noperiph:sym0:0:-1:-1):SCSI BUS reset delivered"=20 actually mean ? What is FreeBSD actually complaining about ? I would assume that these HP servers (we have inhereted a few of them) wo= uld=20 use the same type of hardware. The server I'm trying to install this on i= s a=20 HP cluster server which has an external Raid Storage (which is currently=20 disconnected from the servers). The servers themselves are HP Netserver=20 LH3r's. The standalone server I used to do the install on is also a HP=20 Netserver LH3r. The only noticeable difference between the standalone ser= ver=20 and the server in the cluster is that the standalone server has a single=20 processor and the cluster servers are dual processor. I've removed the SC= SI=20 card which is used to connect the server to the external Raid Storage and= the=20 installation still gives the same error. Now I could start to think that the hardware might be busted, but these=20 servers were still running Redhat 7.1 a few days ago. If I want to try using the NCR driver (mentioned below), How would I go a= bout=20 doing that ? What else could I try. Maybe if I understood the error((noperiph:sym0:0:-1:-1):SCSI BUS reset=20 delivered) a little better, I could try a few other things. hints/tips/anything appreciated. Another weird thing I noticed: - While another guy was installing FreeBSD on an HP pizzabox he also got = this=20 error: "(noperiph:sym0:0:-1:-1):SCSI BUS reset delivered", but it continu= ed=20 to boot and he was able to install the box. hmmmmm ? e.
