SCSI boot problem
SCSI problem
I have a P3 with ASUS P2B-S mainbroad (with two SCSI port) and a AIC 7XXX
SCSI card.
AIC SCSI card connected to a
IBM DRR SCSI Harddisk (SCSI ID set to 0, we named it disk0) and
Teac SCSI CDROM (SCSI ID set to 4)
The SCSI Port from mainbroad connected to two SCSI hardisk (SCSI ID set to
1 and 2, we named disk1 and disk2)
"Boot from cdrom" has been set in BIOS
BIOS show that all devices are recongized correctly.
The main problem like this:
1. Any bootable cd (Windows, Debian/linux, Knoppix) can not boot the box
correctly.
for debian testing and Knoppix, the box dead after load initrd
for windows 2003 cd (bootable) , the box dead when the detecting
hardware processing begining
for window 2000 with 4 setup flopy disk, it can detect all device and
copy all the necessnary files. ant then it is dead when it reboot because
it can not found bootable partition.
2. if I disconnected the disk0 connected to AIC SCSI card, there is same
problem.
3. if I disconnected the two disk1 and disk2 connect to mainbroad SCSI
port, there is no problem.
4. I have install two system (Debian/Linux, Windows 2000) disconnected the
two harddisk connect to mainbroad SCSI port and it is working correctly.And
then I connected two harddisk. In this case, lilo can working well. but
grub can not work.
With lilo, there are different harddisk order in kernel 2.2.20 and
2.4.*.
with kernel 2.2.20, it is like this
disk0 --> /dev/sda
disk1 --> /dev/sdb
disk2 --> /dev/sdc
with kernel 2.4.*, it is like this
disk0 --> /dev/sdc
disk1 --> /dev/sda
disk2 --> /dev/sdb
but there is a problem: Windows system is not stable. It is always dead
suddently
with grub, it is show us that the root is locale in (hd0,3) when I boot
from grub, however it is show me that root is locale in (hd2,3) after I
boot the system with lilo and kernel 2.4.*.
I have test many time with different setup in bios and scsi setup when
boot.
How to resolve them?
Thank you very much.
