Well, just so you know I am now building a 2.4.1 kernel for this machine so
I can use devfs.
So perhaps I'll try ReiserFS on this too... lots of fun :)
Thanks for everyone's kind words of wisdom.

You can compile the "primary (rootfs)" adapter into the kernel, and load
the second adapter as a module. This is supposed to work.

Well, I tried changing the order of driver loading in dr

You can't - you need to make sure either the cards are different and check
the SCSI host probe order, or the detection order in the PCI bus. You
should only need to do this

which leads me to the question:
Is there any reason for the (IMHO stupid) "dynamic" naming of
SCSI devices (in contrast to e.g. IDE devices or the "physical"
device naming used in Solari
Of course I should have said this is linux kernel 2.2.17, an IBM PS/2 9585,
in-built 'IBM MCA' SCSI adapter and an AHA-1640 MCA card.
I now realise that in 2.4 I can use scsihosts=ibmmca:aha1542, but have no
info for 2.2.17.
Sorry for the lack of info previously :)
Thanks again.

Sorry for posting this here, I'm sure you're all busy with 2.4.1 and 2.2.18
but I'm read the SCSI HOWTO and asked on #LinPeople to no avail:
Given two host adapters each with 1 disk of ID 0, how do I tell Linux which
is sda and which sdb?
After this I'll be filling the 2nd SCSI chain completely,
10 matches
