There are different drivers for the sym cards. You could try a different driver if that's possible. But maybe that won't work with a mounted cdrom on the scsi card.... Maybe booting from floppy, and doing a hd install should make that possible. What was the default driver it uses, and what is the output of "lspcidrake -vf". Is there a driver that works better for you? -- Marcel Pol Linux 2.4.19-0mdk, up 4 days, 19:39 Registered User #163523
