#Hard drive lockup?
I am having problems with my hard drive locking up when I boot.
I installed a Maxtor 7345SR SCSI hard drive into my A3000. Now I am having
problems with my primary 105 meg Quantum. The drive was working fine together
with the Maxtor for a couple of days before the Quantum locked up.
I am only able to get through the compete boot process about 1 in 20 tries.
The drive LED just stops flickering and goes on full. Often I get a checksum
error on the Quantum. This didn't happen before I installed the Maxtor. I had
this problem with another Maxtor so I got the dealer to give me a replacement.
Now it is happening again.
It seems like the drive locks up during heavy disk usage. Is there some
problem with the A3000 controller or maybe the scsi.device software? I have
Kickstart version 37.310. Workbench version 38.12.
Any suggestions?
