- I recently switched from an ESDI setup to a SCSI setup. On reinstalling
- linux from SLS ver 0.98pl1 i got numerous floppy overrun/underrun errors...
- retrying, etc. This happened both when I was mkefs -c -ing the drive, and
- on the install from floppies. I don't remember this happening when I installed
- on the ESDI drive. My new controller is a Ultrastore 14F. But everything
- seems to work in the end. I have X and all up and running, so I guess the
- retries worked, but anyone know why I might have gotten these errors or whether
- its serious or not?
