I know how to deal with the Tekram DC390W/U/F cards config NVRAM, but not with that of the Symbios cards (and any card using SDMS as its BIOS). I did not have time to complete the initialization of driver parameters from NVRAM values, but have working code to dump the Tekram cards' setup (its in -current). I'll complete the code as soon as I have the time, but can't guarantee a date for when it will be available (due to being overloaded with paid work, currently). > card ?

Yes, please add it to /etc/rc. It should be executed as early as possible. We are just trying to identify the cause of the problem, and you will be able to remove that "ncrcontrol" invocation later ... I don't need all of dmesg, but all lines that might contain information about the error. This will be up to 10 lines above the COMMAND FAILED message (and perhaps a few more below). > The message always happens after that time. And seems > still work without problem . The system retries the failed operation, and will succeed on second try, most of the time. But I don't see that message at all, and I'm also using an IBM DORS ... Regards, STefan
