Hi; I'm gradually becoming semi-competent in running my RH62 server. I've run into some strange problems: **My tape drive won't record **I can't upgrade python (I get complaints that I need certain dependencies, which are there, and when I go to rebuild the binaries in SPECS it won't let me) **I can't upgrade to RH71 (it stopped at the final compilation stage) **I can't install Postfix I upgraded the server to RH71 by brute force: I installed all the latest updates. I'm beginning to suspect the problem might be my hardware: specifically my SCSI hard drive (IBM Ultrastar 18ES, 9GB, 7200 rpm). I went to their site and d'l'd a utility to check out the drive which I will try out, but I'd rather be at the box when I do (in case there's problems). I would have thought, however, if it *were* this, there'd be a patch, and I didn't find a patch. What would you more experienced gurus do in a situation like this?
