One (6.4 GB) is connected to the on-board IDE controller. The other one (180 GB) is connected to a SIIG Ultra ATA 133/100 PRO for Mac IDE
Bug#272967: Acknowledgement (NewWorld Blue White Mac Powerpc install -- problems with firewire and aec62xx driver.)
I forgot to add: Note 5: Several times during the installation, I got an error message telling me that some modules were not loaded because they could not be found: ide-mod, ide-probe-mod, ide-detect, ide-generic Note 6: I installed the same netinst CD on my beige G3 tower, using BootX as boot loader. This machine also has the SIIG Ultra ATA controller. Curiously enough, I did *not* get timeout /lost interrupt messages on this install. Is it possible that the Beige G3 somehow declares itself to have a slower bus than the Blue White claims, and this causes the driver to use a slower DMA mode -- hence no timeouts? In other words, the Blue White is claiming to have a faster PCI bus than it really can deliver, but the Beige makes no such claims. The Blue and White pays the price for boasting, the Beige reaps the benefits of modesty? Also, curiously, the Beige G3 had no complaints about missing modules... Go figure!
