Re: SCSI disc hangs -> A solution

[stellan alm]

Hi again,
Default my computer boots off the IDE disc, using SystemCommander2000.
I have two SCSI discs on a Adaptec 2940 U2W.
They have SCSI ID 3 and 6, I installed GRUB on the disc with ID 3.
Then GRUB just got stuck when during the boot process.
Default Boot device was set to ID 0 in the SCSI BIOS, after changing
Boot Device by selecting SCSI ID 3, I got GRUB to load.
Hopes this clarifies the former mail.
I'll gladly answer more question if I can help.
