I thought I'd seen and heard most things in the computer business, but now I'm stumped..
I installed a SuSE 10.1 x86_64 on a couple of SCSI disks configured as a mirror set in software on an Adaptec 2940UW adapter..
After finalized install and boot, after a while the DISKS emitted beeps! 2 short beeps, a couple of seconds silence, then 2 short beeps and on it goes. The system is hung dead hard and the only way out is the reset button.
Any ideas on this?

Sounds like a driver problem..? Of some obscure reason, the disk makes a very short and fast track-to-track seek/r/w or whatever, and thus gets a resonantion in the arm/heads that sounds like a beep. I had a similar problem with two 15.000 rpm SCSI180 drives that chirped in a particular machine, but not in others. (Still haven't resolved that, as the drives went into another RAID set) Does the drives still emit sound on the same box under another OS. (Either completely different, or under a lower Linux..) -- /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email : rikard.j@rikjoh.com web : http://www.rikjoh.com mob: : +46 (0)763 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >
