Dear All,
This case has been solved and the solution is quite interesting to
know, the probe scsi showed the hardisk but the OS doesn't see it, and
the isp module is loaded, so it should be seen by the OS.
but due to a parity error that was showing fastly during the setup, it
seems one of the following components could be slightly faulty:
The terminatore
the scsi-cable
the controller-card in the D1000 or
the scsi-card
cause the probe scsi command in the boot prompt doesn't send as much
commands or flows as the OS does so it can go undetected at the open
boot stage.
I was really lucky to find the Ultra SCSI wide cable had at one end a
pin leaning to the next to it, I separated them and everything went
well.KR and Roy.
Thx
MAG
I would like to thank Adam Rappner and also
