Actually, I don't remember having to specify that at install time. You will want to check a few things, if you are using SCSI hard disks: 1. Does the SCSI card see the hard disks? On boot, Adaptec cards give you the option to press Ctrl+A to get to the SCSI BIOS where you can run tests. Make sure that the hard disks can be seen --and seen reliably-- before continuing with the install 2. Are the SCSI hard disks connected internally or externally? Sometimes, for external connections, the cable can be problematic. Hence the need to test that the hard disks can be seen reliably. This seems to be a bigger problem with U320 and better SCSI disks. 3. What SCSI disks are you using? I had serious problems with a Quantum/Maxtor drive a few years ago. It could be seen by the BIOS, and when connected internally, it worked fine. But when I connected it to the computer through an external cable and housing, it would not install and kept giving me kernel panics. The funny thing was, it worked on Windows, but not Linux. When I switched to Seagate, the problems disappeared. -- Pascal Chong email: chongym@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: http://cymulacrum.net pgp: http://cymulacrum.net/pgp/cymulacrum.asc "La science ne connaît pas de frontière parce que la connaissance appartient à l’humanité. et que c’est la flamme qui illumine le monde." -- Louis Pasteur
