That's what one gets when the BIOS emulator in the console fails. > The SCSI hd and cdrom are detected, but it tries to spin it up > immediately afterwards ... and seems to stop then. My symptoms were a stream of SCSI error messages related to the CDROM (unit 6), but not the HD. When I disconnected the CDROM, the HD was recognized and MILO was usable to boot from, which I proceeded to do. I believe that the problem is in the QLogic driver used in the MILO; if possible, work around it by isolating the CDROM on it's own SCSI bus, using another SCSI controller, say QLogic or NCR. Finally, I had the following success running X from the XLT MILO: 1. Voodoo Banshee 2. ATI Rage 128 3. ATI Radeon 7500 All the above not only ran X, but ran 3D apps as well!!! :-) :-) I assume that the Voodoo3 3000 should also work in this environment. NOTE: this testing was done under our RH 7.2 for Alpha plus a number of updates, including kernel (to 2.4.18+), but the XFree86 was pretty much the original RH 7.2 version (4.1.0+). Good luck. --Jay++ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jay A Estabrook HPTC - LINUX support Hewlett-Packard Company - MRO1-2/K15 (508) 467-2080 200 Forest Street, Marlboro MA 01752 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
