This is what I am doing, see the description above. Now I only left one
SCSI drive in system, no secondary SCSI drive, no SCSI CDROM. But when
computing md5sum of a redhat ISO file, the result digest always changes.
To make it more clear to you, I'd better describe my current system:
1. Redhat 6.2 on IDE disk - /dev/hda
on IDE disk, the md5sum is always correct.
2. Windows 2000 Professional on SCSI disk - /dev/sda
the file system on /dev/sda1 is FAT, where I held the md5sum
SCSI test under Linux.
When I boot the system using Windows 2000 and compute the md5sum of the
ISO file on C: (after copy the ISO file again), the result is correct.

This is the first time I install Linux on this machine, which is bought
in 1998. I expanded the memory to 256M and one more SCSI disk, then one
more IDE disk after the md5sum test on SCSI disk failed under Linux.
What I am wondering is that why the md5sum test on IDE disk under Linux
and on SCSI disk under Windows 2000 are OK, but the test on SCSI disk
under Linux fails.
