<P> Todd,
<P>Thanks I may need the help to spot what I'm missing... Yesterday I put the "new - borrowed" SCSI drive on the controller with the CD and Tape drive and the Compaq "Jumpstart" CD saw the drive and said it had created 3 partitions on it.(I took the default install). Cool!!! This is the farthest I have gotten with this box and Linux...unfortunately the next step is to boot off the RH distribution: boot DKA600 -fl 0
<P>which seems to progress along nicely until it starts to "cycle" on a restart of the controller - I will bring the actual text of the message to the meeting tomorrow - What Time does the meeting start?

<P>Bob,
<P>I would be excited if I thought it was a solution --- The wierd thing is the piece of hardware that is giving me the fits is at least 7 years old. I'm sure there is support for it, (dead sea scroll on the net show support as far back as v 5.x) it's just that it may no longer be a part of the shipping kernel! I picked up a 7.1 RH distribution from Compaq for the Alpha but it comes up short (does not "see the controller"). I'm sure there is a way, today I picked up a secondary SCSI hard drive to play with tonight, to plug into the on board SCSI controller...I'll keep you posted.
