Yep, it is a 2920C.

I probably meant ahc0, but I'll check. The machine is located remotely, I'll
have to go over there to check it out, I'll also make a note of the error
message, (and try not to loose it 8).

The machine does only have a single IDE drive. The same problem occcurs when
the DAT is disconnected, and it boots just fine without the adapter
installed.

If I left it long enough, with the driver give up and allow the machine to
boot normally? At least then I could copy the errors from /var/log/messages
