While using the Amanda backup programme I am getting a large number of errors from the controller. They are of the form. Nov 5 11:51:35 hawk /kernel: ncr?: scatter/gather failed (residue=493925376).

Nov 5 11:51:35 hawk /kernel: sd0: oops not queued They only seem to happen when it is backing up partitions other than the root partition. I have tried putting the Tape drive on a second controller but it made no difference. I did not have this problem with my GigaByte Neptune board using their NCR810 controller. Any ideas what is wrong. Chris
