humm....battery corrosion really shouldn't be an issue on genuine 4000T's, as they have some flat lithium batteries that hardly leaks.

I have the similar problem when I connect a SCSI hdd onto the mobo SCSI chain, cd-roms and tape-streamers work fine, just not HDD's....odd, isn't it?

Anyway, my 4000T also needs a reboot when powering on from a cold-boot, if I use the onboard ide connector.

I guess the 4000T's are temperamental pieces of computers, eh?

@bill

Rip out all scsi/ide/floppy cables, and see if the kickstart screen appears. Then insert them one by one and see what happens...

You might also try reseating the cpu-card and the disk and I/O cards, my 4000T arrived at me heavily bashed by the postmen, so a little bit of tearing apart and building up cured a lot of problems...  :admonish:
