Newfs did produce a lot off error messages about some HARDWARE errors. I had used same drive with SCSI address 2, so I did return it to address 2 and all did work fine! (Execpt - I cannot boot from that drive) Questions: 1. How can the change of SCSI address from 2 to 0 cause hardware errors? 2. Why can=B4t I boot from that disk in address 2? 3. Why can't I boot even when I change the address back to 0? 4. Why does disk work fine in address 0 now, when I do not try to install sysmtem on it? I am booting from my old IBM 0664 (in another 2940). HW: Motherboard is Intel Zappa, I have 2 times AHA PCI 2940, one IBM 0664M1H, one ST15230, 32M RAM. I did install 951005-SANP. Installing 2.0.5R on ST15230 in SCSI address 0 did produce very same hardware errors. I had only one 2940 in use when I did the installation. Installed 951005-SNAP to the drive with SCSI=3D2. If I did try to write Label in 951005-SNAP installation with W. It could not newfs root partition ("could not make/mount root partition"). When I did Q without W installation did go OK and it did newfs root. Seppo -- +-- Seppo Kallio ----- kallio@jyu.fi ---+ ! Computing Center ! Fax +358-41-603611 Phone +358-41-603606 ! !
