Subject:   Weird crash installing onto SCSI disk system
Message-ID:  <000912165307A2.22927@weba1.iname.net>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
After playing with a prototype setup on a small IDE HD I got a 4GB SCSI HD and Adaptec 2940UW to build my real system.
The HD works OK to install a DOS partition on, however when I boot my 4.0r CD, things don't go nearly as well as they did with teh IDE drive.

The CD boots, and it works through the line 
/kernel text=xxxxxxxxxxxxx data=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(little whirligig)
It then hops to the next line, the whirligig starts and then I get 2 columns of continuously scrolling gibberish and that's it. It impressed my step-son, who thinks it looks cool, but it's not the look I was going for.

Before I launch into full on harware fault finding, do these symptoms indicate a fault in any particular area.
