Well, here is what comes up on the screen during boot: <snip> SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 sym.0.5.0: setting PCI_COMMAND_INVALIDATE. sym0: <875> rev 0x1 on pci bus 0 device 5 function 0 irq 23 sym0: Tekram NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-20, SE, parity checking sym0: SCSI bus has been reset. scsi0 : sym-2.1.17a sym0:0:0: ABORT operation started. sym0:0:0: ABORT operation timed out. sym0:0:0: DEVICE RESET operation started. sym0:0:0: DEVICE RESET operation timed out. sym0:0:0: BUS RESET operation started. sym0:0:0: BUS RESET operation timed out. sym0:0:0: HOST RESET operation started. sym0: SCSI bus has been reset The boot sequence hangs at this point. I don't know why the bus is being reset either. Cheers, Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
