Hi All,
I'm running 2.2-RELEASE.
I have an AHA2940 with a Seagate SCSI drive and a Seagate IDE drive. When
I enable the IDE drive in the BIOS, (after BS-OS to boot off the SCSI)
the kernel panics because it can't mount / on sd1. Fair enough recompile
the kernel to mount root on sd1 and it fails again. Vexing.
I even tryed changing the fstab to reflect sd1. Failed again.
I have heard that it is possible to force the IDE to slave using the cable
select option, is this the only solution? If so could a kind soul point me
to the instructions for wiring a cable select bus cable?
Basically i would like to boot the SCSI as my primary and the use a boot
manager to get at the IDE for Windoze.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Regards
Andre
