I am afraid I don't. I have seen exactly the same result on an IBM 226, which is a similar machine just down-market. So it would be interesting to know if there are any simple solutions. Be aware that if you do not use a RAID controller in these machines, the hostraid solution on the Adaptec card renders the discs useless too. -- Ragnar Wisl�ff -------------- life is a reach. then you gybe.
