Kernel: 2.4.19 aic drvr: aic79xx-1.1.0-source.tar.gz drvr src: Adaptec web site SCSI Adapter: Adaptec 29320R Drives connected to U2W, UW and narrow connectors connected to 32-bit PCI socket The device presents itself as two adapters, the narrow/UW one (A) and the U2W (B). The BIOS is set to use the B adapter to boot from. When the kernel boots it ignores the BIOS preferences for boot order and binds scsi0 to adapter A and scsi1 to adapter B. This is a problem as the main drives are on the U2W adapter and the drives on the other adapter are generally removable; net result is that I have to manually choose the boot device at startup. Quetions: 1. Is there anyway to make the kernel driver bind the adapters in a diff order, .e.g: U2W as primary, UW/narrow as secondary, as in the BIOS settings? 2. When I connect a "Maxtor Atlas 10K II U320" I get repeated debug screens and it refuses to boot from the drive any ideas?
