Hey all,
I have just purchase an OLD Digital server (model
Has a PCI raid card (model DAC960)
I have set all drives up and everything looks ok. Diagnostics on the SCSI
card and drives come back fine.
I can install 2K server and run through the first install process that
copies files from the cd-rom to HDD's but upon first reboot I get this
error.
If I load a command file etc onto C it will boot into the command prompt no
worries.
I have been told it could be the ID's for the drives or perhaps RAM?

I have never delt with SCSI before but am very keen to learn,

Thanks heaps

Hunt

What SCSI card? What hard drives? IBM has drive fitness diagnostic for

their drives. Looks like a dodgy drive.

The SCSI Card is a DAC960

Its a 3 channel card - 1 runs the cd-rom and the other two run the 4 drives.

I have tried installing 2K server with having all 4 HDD's on Raid 5 and also
tried 1 at a time using as a stand alone HDD - all options have the same
effect. I cant find a way to boot off the CD-ROM as well - BIOS doesn't
detect the card so it will only allow boot from floppy or HDD - the card
drivers are loaded after the BIOS.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Cheers
Hunt
