Hi all, some machines are just plain unco-operative. After getting a custom aic7870 rescu and drivers disks, I got installed and then faced this set of messages on boot.
My apologies if it seems long but I am assuming that the root of this oproblem lies with the scsi setup. the cards claim to work but the command route add -net just causes the shell to hang until Ctrl C is pressed. eth0 can be ping itself but nothing else can ping it. eth1 cannot be ping because I can't set up a route. All help appreciated. Patrick Kirk
