Re: [TCLUG:10874] scsi confusion

["Andrew S. Zbikowski" <andyzib@ringworld.org>]

Few notes...Seagate supports Linux! Or at least they try, and in my case
failed miserably, but don't ever buy a Medalist Pro. Anyway, enough of
my hard drive woes.

Generally, the scsi card has ID 7 (highest priority on the scsi chain)
and it's best not to change that. SCSI ID's 0-6 have the next highest
priority, and you should probally put hard drives on these id's with the
drive you're booting from as id 0. 

For some reason the Adaptec 2940 card doesn't like my computer, I think
it doesn't like the via chipset, but transplanting the setup into an
intel chipset got the whole thing moving. Scott Dier (dieman) will be
testing my hardware on his bp6 dual celeron this week so maybe he'll
have some insight on SMP/SCSI issues later. 

And like you haven't done so allready...check termination! =)
