I have big trouble to install a Open Server on a machine, the thing is that i have two Scsi cards one Adaptec 2940 Ultra Wide for the harddisk, dat and cdrom then i got a 2944 Ultra Wide / Differential for a Raid. The scsi setup finds everything ok so there is nothing wrong wiht the hardware or termination. I have installed with the newest scsi drivers both from Sco and Adaptec. The problem is that the machine hangs at faladinit. Has anybody a clue what to do ?

Differential Scsi on Open Server

Install Linux? ;^D<br>

Seriously, have you tried removing the 2944UW SCSI card and booting? (Presuming you system disk is on the 2940.)<br>
<br>
If so, does the system boot all the way?<br>
<br>
It's been a while since I got heavily involved on an Open Server setup, but I recall there being a section in the installation manual that deals with boot-up problems. That may give some clues as to what is failing.<br>
<br>
Are you in a position to do a total re-install of the machine? If so, I'd give that a try, making sure that you specify the new drivers during the setup. It might be that the latest drivers aren't being picked up for some reason.<br>
<br>
Good luck, and let us know how you get on.
