I have an IBM ATA-100 30Gig drive connected to the EIDE bus on my A7V. I also have an AHA29160 witha Quantum SCSI 18Gig LVD. No problems at all. -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Marshall [mailto:bmarsh@bmarsh.com] Sent: Monday, July 30, 2001 9:18 AM To: suse users Subject: Re: [SLE] Adding a scsi-disk to Linux On Monday 30 July 2001 13:05, Graham Smith wrote:
Hi David,
Just a thought when you run lilo do you get an error message. I had a problem when I added a IDE drive to my system as backup storage (cheaper than a SCSI).
I was getting a message saying the drive was not the first drive and when booting I would get the 'LI' message. Overcome the problem by disconnecting the IDE drive whilst using lilo.
I don't think he's getting an error message but maybe the messages he gets would point to your mention below.... that the drives are put in improper order when lilo is loaded.... Most of us run more than one SCSI drive (I have one machine with 3) but the difference here is that he has the IDE drive as boot.

I believe it is a matter of the bios having a setup for scsi boot as an option. I don't have any machines with IDE on them but I believe some of the bios's I have would allow the addition of IDE with a scsi boot. But I can boot from CD by setting my scsi controllers to do so. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
