Troubleshooting

Problem 2

In addition to the Adaptec SCSI RAID controller, the system contains another
manufacturer's SCSI controller and hangs during boot.

Solution 2

•
The other controller fails to correctly implement extended BIOS data area
(EBDA) usage rules. Use SMOR to try a different setting for the EBDA
Relocation parameter or rearrange the controller slot assignments.
•
If your system BIOS supports configuring the boot order, you can also try
changing those settings.

Problem 3

The system contains another manufacturer's SCSI controller in addition to the
Adaptec SCSI RAID controller. During boot, messages from each controller's BIOS
appear, but one controller cannot communicate with its attached drives.

Solution 3

•
The other controller fails to properly implement EBDA usage rules. Use SMOR
to try a different setting for the EBDA Relocation parameter or rearrange the
controller slot assignments.
•
If your system BIOS supports configuring the boot order, you can also try
changing those settings.
