I tried to expand our disk capacity with a MAXTOR XT4380S 380Mb scsi drive
connected to Apollo DN2500. Results :
Sometimes it works (formatting, booting from disk etc.) and sometimes it
doesn't (I then get errors like 'controller not found' when running 'TE'
with the node shut).

Can anyone (with a similar experience) give me some advice ?
(I tried things like positioning the drive upside down or sideways, made
sure everything was cooled properly used all possible device numbers and
kept the same problems both of the two MAXTOR drives I used).

Thanks in advance,
