Hello, Finally got SuSE7.3 for sparc......very nice! I am in awe of the amount of effort and dedication involved in producing such a product. X86 or Sparc, SuSE is the best.
Allow me to show my newbiness/ignorance: I have an ss5 with 64M ram, 110mHz., cdrom, floppy. Suse is installed on an IBM 4.2G internal scsi drive (/dev/sda). No probs there. However I also have three other 2.1G drives that I wish to put to use. When I add one internally (shows as /dev/sdb), it is no problem. I have used the drive holder and scsi backplane from a parts machine to house the other two drives externally. When I plug this contraption into the scsi port on the back of the ss5, the machine locks. I also can't start up linux when I boot with these drives already attached. I thought I was making the equivalent of a 411 external drive holder when I did this. Something must be different. It's my understanding that the backplane provides termination? Do I need to do *something* with ID's? And how? None of the four drives seem to have any jumpers set. I really could use some pointers to docs, or help before I get any deeper or blow something up! Gotta go to work, but I'll respond to any replies this P.M..
