Hello DUnixers--
I am trying to add a pair of Conner CFP1080S drives to my AlphaServer, and
I'm not having much luck. The devices are visible from the single-user
prompt, but when the system boots, it hangs before the CDE startup. After
scouring the (excellent) OSF archives, I've tried the following:
1. Changing SCSI IDs, removing termination, removing CD-ROM, etc.
2. Checked for a video card conflict with some SCSI drives; my video card
did not apply.
3. Set FAST_SCSI_A = TRUE to enable fast SCSI support (according to the
Conner/Seagate web site, these are Fast SCSI-2 drives).
4. Booted from genvmunix to try doconfig, same result.
The system boots fine without the drives installed, hangs with them
attached. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
