It looks like the SCSI ID being assigned to these drives is the same.
The ordered triple (Channel, ID, LUN) should be unique for each device.
Don't know how this can happen since it should never happen.
Unfortunately, all of the relics here don't use SATA drives so I can't
take this any further. Also, it looks like the system sorts it all out
by the time you get a command prompt so everything eventually works; you
just can't do things automatically during the boot process.
Past my bedtime here. Hope this helps.
Sure it helps. I did see that issue, but didn't know enough to know whether
that was abnormal. I can see where that could cause problems in the early
boot process, if it is seeing two drives as the same drive, in effect... I'm
going to start a new SATA thread on this, and see if any responds. Could just
be I've found a SATA bug...
