No, it's the result of a SCSI message reject, which is not correctly dealt with by the driver. } General question: I plan to put this 810 in my to-be-bought Pentium. } Is 205R generally stable with a 810 or do I need 2.1R ? 2.1R should have this fixed. You'll only need to boot the boot floppy, since the assertion failure is at probe time ... You ought to be able to integrate the latest NCR driver into 2.0.5, but you'll need the new generic SCSI code (/sys/scsi/*), too. I could send you 2.1R on tape, if this will help your decision to do the upgrade now :) Regards, STefan -- Stefan Esser, Zentrum fuer Paralleles Rechnen Tel: +49 221 4706021 Universitaet zu Koeln, Weyertal 80, 50931 Koeln FAX: +49 221 4705160 ============================================================================== http://www.zpr.uni-koeln.de/~se <se@ZPR.Uni-Koeln.DE>
