Hi Unsure about how the DEC architecture works but in i386 systems the card in the first PCI slot takes precedence over the second third etc. Try swapping the cards around.

The problem I just hooked up a disk to my (up to now) unused Adaptec 7871 card. My boot disk are connected to the built-in qlogic card of my PWS-500au. Much to my horror I have disovered that the adaptec cards is recogised first, thus the disk connected becomes /dev/sda, wheres my internal boot disk (which was /dev/sda) becomes /dev/sdb. Since the new disk is external, I may or may not decide to power them up (don't ask, its essentially a noise problem), so I don't want to go through the process of having to rename /etc/fstab, etc. What are my options? (BTW currently both scsi drivers are compiled into the kernel). Thanks in advance, Andrew --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
