Hello all
I have a weird problem with a new system running 3.1 as described below. The
problem is that apon bootup, it will hang at "waiting 15 seconds for SCSI
devices to settle"
This will happen with a boot floppy or with the OS installed (if I try enough
it will work) and it mostly happens when I have increased the memory from 128
Megs to 384Megs (3X128 Dimms)
Funny thing is it seems that if I want to install I can usually get it to
work with only 128Megs of memory, and after I rebuild a kernel with MAXMEM 384
Megs it will boot 60% of the time with the full amt of memory.
The light on the SCSI card will go full bright after the 15 second countdown
and sit there forever.
Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.
