SCSI disc hangs -> A solution

[stellan alm]

Hi,
I've been setting upp my computer with the Gentoo dist.
My computer has a Adaptec-2940U2W card, with two drives and a single IDE
drive.
I installed GRUB on my first SCSI disc, but it kept on getting stuck just
printing
"GRUB" to stdout. I disabled the INT13(LBA) stuff in my SCSI BIOS, but it
got even
more peculiar...
After several retries I changed the Boot Device in the SCSI BIOS(Ctrl-A) to
the
disc containing GRUB and VOILA !
So by changing the boot drive I got GRUB to boot, PUH ! :-)

Couldn't see any posting about this so, this should probably fit in to the
FAQ.

Kind regards,
