sibarrick Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) Sorry to be posting these question in an essentially Houdini forum but I know you guys can solve these things and the linux forums are kinda scary for a linux newbie. I can now see my cludged together linux server on our network and browse it happily through windows, but when I install 200Gb Maxtor drives onto it the linux boot up just hangs at the loading hard ware drivers stage. I can bring them up on a windows box no problem and I've reformatted them and they appear to be fine. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting them to play the game? The actual drives are DiamondMax Plus 9 200Gb ATA/133 I know maxtor drives are a nightmare but they just happen to be spare so I'd like to make use of them. Additional information, the machine they are in used to run windows and happily saw them, so I think the hardware is ok on the motherboard side..

sibarrick Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 Fixed it Turns out Linux only likes slaves and not masters... even if they are secondary. Now I have to try and get 3 drives running... Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
