Ron....first off, I've run both RedHat and Mandrake since
version 5.2 on a scsi system and am now running Mandrake 7.0 on
a 9.1 gig scsi drive. The only device on my IDE bus is my
ls-120.
So, is your scsi drive bootable? You need to have a scsi
adapter that has a bootable bios included (seperate from the
motherboard's bios) on it. Is your motherboard's bios set to
allow scsi booting?
If all of the above checks out may I suggest you try the
following setup as it has worked for me for a long time now.
sda1 extended (about 4500 meg)
sda5 /boot 16 meg
sda6 swap 128 meg
sda7 / 4350 meg
If it works then you can build on it and modify it with your own
preferences.
