Hi All, I am having trouble installing 2.1.0 on a new machine. The hardware consists of: Asus P6NP5 Pentium Pro 200 MB 64 MB RAM Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller Micropolis 4421 2.1 GB SCSI drive HP 1536 DAT tape Texel 3024 SCSI CD (~3 years old - the only old part) #9 Motion 771 video card with 4 MB I am getting the following error quite often when installing or copying from the CD to the hard drive: sd0(ahc0:0:0) ABORTED COMMAND acs:47,0 SCSI parity error I have (after 12 hours of attempting installs trying different settings) a very fragile installation. I have tried moving the SCSI devices around on the bus, setting up a small DOS partition and almost every setting option on the Adaptec. During install, I get these parity errors repeatedly at varying places. After ~10-20 errors the computer will lock up for about 1 minute and then reboot. Does anyone have any ideas about what to try next? I am too foggy right now to think straight. Thanks, Frank -- Only in America can a homeless veteran sleep in a cardboard box while a draft dodger sleeps in the White House. <unknown>
