The problem is solved now. I turned out that I had overlooked that the scsi-BIOS output shown during system-boot had told me all the time that the CD-ROM drive on the other bus was detected before the scsi harddrives. Therefore I had to write these lines in /etc/lilo.conf: disk=/dev/hda bios=0x80 disk=/dev/sr0 bios=0x81 disk=/dev/sda bios=0x82 disk=/dev/sdb bios=0x83
When I got these lines right, and ran /sbin/lilo, I was suddenly able to boot all the way up with both scsi-disks attached.
Thank you so much to you and all the other guys who posted suggestions to me during my hardware fight. It seems to me that disk- and INT13-entries in /etc/lilo.conf could be pretty important when running a combined IDE and SCSI system, so I hope that this information might help somebody else reading through the postings in this mailing list some time.
Best regards, David List
Strange, because I currently have two scsi HD's and two CD's on the same controller and have never had this problem. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
