Try power-cycling it (leave it off > for > a few seconds etc.). Thanx Doug. But; * There was no O/S switching going on * I left it off overnight * I tried to move the board from slot to slot, or even to put the Qlogic board from the other machine in. Same result. BTW, the disk controller is a DEC creation that has the NCR (by some other name) and a Tulip Ethernet on the same card. Somehow do not feel as if the controller is at fault, but something else. Shall I try to move the controller and its disks to the working machine? Is there a documented way to boot the box over the net with ALL filesystems over NFS?
