Hi!

Sorry for the late reply ...

There are no changes between 2.2 and -current, that I know
of and that might account for the problem you are facing.

I'm using a HP DAT (1533) myself for quite some time, and
never had a problem to get it probed ...

Hmmm, this looks like the DAT does reject the command it gets
sent. I'm not sure why this happens, though.

No, I don't think so, neither. And if it worked with 2.2, then
there is even more reason to assume the drive is not broken.

Do you know how to compile a kernel with SCSI and NCR debug code
included ?

Could you please send verbose boot messages from a 2.2 kernel
(in case you still got such a kernel), or at least the normal
boot messages as stored into /var/log/messages ?
