All of the above tells me this is a hardware problem. How about termination?
The controller has internal termination, and from there a high quality LVD
That termination is for the other end of the scsi bus, the one you access at the back of the computer. Your problems seem at the other end of the bus.
cable runs to the two drives. I am using the same active LVD/SE terminator after the drives that I used with only one drive. I have tried with and without termpower supply from the second drive.
If you have an external terminator, the other drives don't need to have termination or termination power enabled. Bruce Marshall wrote:

In the process of adding a scsi-disk to my SuSE Linux 7.1 system, I have encountered some problems. The first was the changing of drive-names. I solved that by changing scsi-id's on the drives. Now, when I boot from a boot-floppy, I see the correct drive-names for the drives (/dev/sda for the

Where are you installing linux? Does the BIOS of your scsi adapter let you configure from which device to boot? If so, you may need to specify the device ID of the disk you want to boot from. On my system, I also need to put this on my lilo.conf: disk = /dev/sda # The first SCSI disk ... bios = 0x80 # ... is the first one at boot time disk = /dev/sdb # The second SCSI disk ... bios = 0x81 # ... is the second one at boot time I've linux installed in sda. rafael
