- Hi !
-
- I finaly managed to buy a cheap DEC RZ-56 disk with ~650 MB. When I tried to
- install 2.03 the other day I got a complete hang of the system during the
- first Installation steps. When the install-script tries to check the
- available disks, the system hangs.
-
- To be exact, this happens when '/etc/atdevice' is called to return the
- SCSI-unitnumbers of all available disks.
-
- Has anybody managed to get one of those disks to work ? (Keith ?)
-
- Somebody mentioned to me, that the Amix-SCSI driver is confused, when a disk
- requests sync-transfers. Is this true ?
-
- Does anybody know how to make the disk stop doing this ? I have no docs on
- the jumpers. :-(
-
- Any hopes, that 2.1 fixes my problem ?
-
- Thanks,
- michael
