I'm unable to install SuSE-7.3 on this box. It has an ide cdrom that is connected to a narrow single ended scsi port. Dell says that they have made some modification to the bios to make the scsi port appear as an ide port. And in fact the system does see the cdrom as an ide cdrom. My problem is after the initial installation of cd number 1 and the reboot, When it asks for cd 2 it fails. I think this has something to do with this scsi/ide thing. Any one seen any thing like this? Dell says that in order to make that scsi port a real scsi port the bios will have to be reflashed. I guess I could do that and put a real scsi cd in there but I thought maybe some one else may have seen this before. Thanks in advance Mark
