I've tried to change my SCSI chain : originally, it was

internal Quantum 1080_S (ID 6)

external Syquest SCSI 1 (ID 1)
external CDROM SCSI 2 (ID 0)


Leaving my hard drive alone, the kernel boots, but shows targets from 0 to 5 as being a Quantum 1080_S (nice prize ;-) ), except id 6 that is the real hard drive.

If I add the CDROM, the controller hangs.

I haven't tried another config.

What should I try then ?
