its the rule. It sucks.
Inserted new (erm.) shiney (erm2) scsi card + 10k rpm disk into server today. Happy happy boot boot.
Hang. Crash.
Unplug, check connectors, check power, replug.
no disk found.
Retry, force rescan.
Disk found.
Boot OS. partition drive, make filesystem.
IO error.
......
Several hours of magic later, I found the problem. The SCSI card will work in -one- of the PCI slots on the board. none other. then it works flawlessly. Disk done, happy, formatted, inserted. All things work as if by magic.
AHS.
