I'd upgrade the distribution since Redhat 7.0 is notoriously buggy. At the very least make sure your kernel has the patch to fix the POSIX capabilities hole. > any help or pointer as to where i can find a solution to my problem > would be greatly appreciated > > thx > The SDT9000 is a narrow device, I noticed that you have it on a wide bus. Is it the last device in the chain and are the 18 pins properly terminated? Also check the drive jumpers, sometimes you need to fiddle with them depending on the SCSI bus and OS. ---- C.
