I am having a big problem here. My nice little "CD burning server", under my bed, is crippled because the large (40GB) IDE drive in it simply does not detect. This is a KNOWN WORKING drive. I just pulled it out of a working system. I've tried compiling IDE Disk Support and the Promise controller

I am having some weird, weird SCSI I/O errors. I'm running Debian/PowerPC on an "Old World" (beige) Mac-- namely, a Power Mac 7300/180 (the 7300s were sold overseas, and are uncommon in the USA; they are roughly on par with the 7500s, I believe.. if not a bit higher-end) with a G3/220 CPU upgra
