I work for a computer retailer in Flagstaff, Arizona. We recently began
distributing Mylex mainboards in the United States, and we have been a
Novell Gold reseller for about a year.
Here is the situation:
We are trying to set up in our shop (before shipping to the client) a
Netware 386 server on a Mylex 486/25 EISA mainboard with 8MB of RAM, a Mylex
DCE376 caching SCSI controller with 1MB of cache, and an Imprimis 1.2GB
SCSI drive. There are several parts to the problem:
1) The controller seems to set only five bits of the sectors per
track field in the CMOS drive table. Thus, the drive, which is
71 SPT appears to be only 7 SPT.
2) The system hangs when a DCE logical partition is allocated after
the DOS partition and the DOS4E.SYS driver is loaded at bootup.
The message DIVIDE OVERFLOW appears when the driver is loaded.
3) Given only the DOS partition with no driver loaded, the Netware 386
SERVER command works just fine, as does loading the EISA driver. But
when we attempt to create a Netware partition with the INSTALL NLM,
the system hangs.
We have been on the phone with Mylex several times, and, while their tech
support people are knowledgeable, there advice so far has had little success.
I would appreciate any help at all with any of the above questions.
Thank you in advance.
