Greetings,

 We just recieved a new Quad Xeon SC450NX system with a Gig of memory and 3
Ultra Wide Seagate 4 gig drives. We ordered the system with an Adaptec 2940UW
controller since we weren't sure what luck we'd have with the onboard SCSI's.

 I installed 3.0 RELEASE using the Adaptec and then tried removing the card and
switching the SCSI cable to the internal Symbios/NCR controllers. The system
would boot OK and then panic when it tried to mount the / partition. I cvsup'd
the latest current as of last Wednesday, rebuilt and tried switching to the
internal controllers again and now the system panics and quickly reboots with a
line something like this (sorry it goes by fairly quickly):

   CCB > CCB_H  pci/ncr.c Target ID Failed at 5079

The Symbios controller reports: V4.0 PCI Rev 2.0, 2.1
 
 Has anyone tried using the on-board controllers on this main board ? Also, is
it even worth bothering with as I do have Adaptec controllers to use ? Thanks.
