Hi Zaxxon,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Itīs a Adaptec AIC7880 raid controller intergrated on the mainboard.
While the Bios postings are on the screen I can access the raid settings by pressing CTR-A.

There isn't much to set here.
No boot settings or what so ever.

In the main (motherboard) bios the first startup device is the Raid Disc.
So everything is ok.

But when the Bios postings dissapear and the OS should start it hangs with a blinking cursor and then reboots automatically after 1 minute.

Dennis

I've just replaced the secondary disk drive (was 4 Gb) with a Seagate Barracuda 7200 200 Gb.

NAME
aic -- Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI driver SYNOPSIS
device aic In /boot/device.hints: hint.aic.0.at="isa" DESCRIPTION
The aic driver provides support for the Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI controller chips. Many systems that use these controller chips do not have a boot ROM and therefore cannot be booted from. HARDWARE
The adapters supported by the aic driver include: o Adaptec AHA-1505 (ISA) o Adaptec AHA-1510A, AHA-1510B (ISA) o Adaptec AHA-1520A, AHA-1520B (ISA) o Adaptec AHA-1522A, AHA-1522B (ISA) o Adaptec AHA-1535 (ISA) o Creative Labs SoundBlaster SCSI host adapter (ISA) o Adaptec AHA-1460, AHA-1460B, AHA-1460C, AHA-1460D (PC Card) o Adaptec AHA-1030B, AHA-1030P (PC98) o NEC PC-9801-100 (PC98) SEE ALSO
aha(4), ahb(4), ahc(4), cd(4), ch(4), da(4), intro(4), sa(4) BUGS
The driver does not work well with multiple devices on the SCSI bus. The driver works well with devices like CDROMs and Tape drives. The driver works not so well with disk drives. The PC Card version appears to work better than the ISA version, but that may be due to differing levels of testing of the devices. BSD
