Hi folks:
I used to run some dual PPro boxes and they'd served me well. Now I decide to "upgrade" to a pair of PII333's on a Tyan Thunder II (S1696, the monster-dual-CPU-with-sound-and-with-SCSI board). This move has been nothing but trouble since. First, the dual on-board UW SCSI refused to work. [I am now using my original AHA-2940 adapter.] Then after I disabled it, I cannot install from CD-ROM-- every time it hangs when the RH 5.1 installer reaches the SCSI-scanning stage. NOW I get random garbage spewed to the printer some time after each reboot of the machine. I realise that this may just be a toasted board, but can someone tell me if there is something that I can try other than a BIOS update, which I already did?
Details of box: Dual PII/333, 256MB of ECC SDRAM DIMM's, RHL 4.2, kernel version 2.2.1 (the problem does not seem to happen with kerne; 2.1.129, the reason why I posted to the kernel list); AHA2940 with two 4G UW-SCSI drives, a plextor CD-ROM, a panasonic CD-R, and a 640MB SCSI MO drive. I am also using a logitech trackball, but not the PS/2 kind. Printing from another machine, with the same cables, seem to do fine.
