by I recently installed an adaptec 2940 in my P100.
The 2940 has 3 drives attached
QUANTUM Model: XP34301
QUANTUM Model: PD1800S
FUJITSU Model: M2694ES-512
In addition, I have a SB16-SCSI-II with two devices
PLEXTOR Model: CD-ROM PX-4XCH
WANGTEK Model: 6200-HS
I had a NCR*810 controller, but pulled it out because it didn't perform well
under linux - and the higher performing version of the driver was
unreliable for me.
This evening, the machine started to crash on me.
I was using the CD to install over the network (using samba to a
windows nt box).
The first time it happened, I was reading a tape, paging heavily do to
several pig processes running and doing the remote install from the
cdrom.
The second time, nothing much was going on on the machine except the
install.
Anyone had any problems with this combination?
