I have experienced a very strange problem last night that ultimately resulted in my SCIS Zip drive going away. This problem happened actually while I was working with Mac OS X Server, attempting to help Carl with his OS X <-> Linux mount problems. Here's what happened: I have a Mac 8600 which dual boots Mac OS 8.5 and Mac OS X Server. This is connected to my SuSE box running 7.2 / 2.4.4. The SuSE box acts as router / firewall to my DSL / The World. This all just works under OS 8.5 running Netatalk; I had to re-configure TCP/IP on the OS X side because I haven't been using it since I relocated -- it still had my old net setup with references to my former ISP. This got cleaned up in short order, and SuSE merrily forwarded traffic from OS X. The problem came when I fired up the OmniWeb web browser on OS X. Initially, it was trying to proxy through some IP I didn't immediately recognize. I disable this in OmniWeb, and was able to pull up sites. But I wanted to track down that proxy IP, so I tried to pull up my old ISP's website. The instant I fired off OmniWeb to get the ISP's page, SuSE went down Real Hard. Froze completely, couldn't get to other consoles on SuSE, couldn't shut down Xfree, couldn't telnet in. When I reset / rebooted the SuSE box, I noticed some odd SCSI parity errors in the boot messages, and I noticed that my SCSI Zip Drive (which hangs off of an Adaptec 29160N along with a Seagate 9gig harddrive) was gone. Then when I rebooted again, I noticed that the 29160 wasn't finding the Zip Drive -- Its Gone! I've tried to power down both the CPU and the ZIP, but the 29160 still doesn't see it. It sees the Seagate just fine, but not the ZIP. Any Clues as to where my ZIP drive is? Incidently, hitting my old ISP's site from Mac OS X will consistantly bring the SuSE box down. Every time. I can hit other sites just fine, but the ISP's site apparently is doom. Further, I can hit the ISP from my SuSE box without any ill effect, it only happens when I hit it from Mac OS X.
