Ummm,
That's THREE.
Seagate drive plus L-M 6.0 plus somekinda BIOS
Shuttle HOT591 with VIA Chipset and Seagate 38641 Locked up on install...
Worked fine
With IBM IDE drives Used K6-2 300 Worked fine
with Seagate and Festen
J-Mark J-5TXC (Intel TX Chipset)with L-M 6.0 CD and Seagate ST38641 and
Seagate
Looked good on install Used 6x86-200 MX
Got running on the disk. Logout from K Desktop
produced Kernel Panic on reboot
when it tried to remount any partition on the
Seagate 38641
That same Seagate worked fine in an install and is still cooking along
like a champ on
a Shuttle HOT 599 (SiS 530 chipset)
And now yours/ with I would guess a ST2850.
I would suggest you try a new install without the Seagate. I think we might be
triggering some undocumented
diagnostic microcode on the drive electronics. Otherwise, I, too, am totally
mystified. Also, the BIOS most likely plays a role in whatever is happening.
