Looking at the messages below, are you POSITIVE? There should be a terminator just after the hard disk, powered externally and not from the SCSI bus. The NCRs are actively terminated(?) and shouldn't require anything further on that end. Also be sure your cable is secure and that it's not damaged in some way. Lastly, make sure the hard disk is well cooled. If it's a 7200RPM drive, they get *HOT* and you need direct cooling or it or it'll fail. > sd0(ncr0:0:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10mb/s) offset 8 > > ncr0: restart (ncr dead ?) > /kernel ncr0: restart (ncr dead ?) > > /kernel: script cmd = 88030000 > > ncr0:0 error (81:0) (8-a2-0) (0/13) @ (ffd1002c:00000000) > reg: ca 00 40 13 47 00 00 1f 71 08 00 a2 80 00 0a 02. > > ncr0: restart (fatal error). > sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (9 ff) @ f1243400. > sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (9 ff) @ f1243a00. > sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (9 ff) @ f1243c00. > > vnode_pager_input: I/O read error > vm_fault: pager input (probably hardware) error, PID 599 failure > Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
