Subject:   NCR controller problem?

I have just had a problem with my disk controller, where instead of the usual
message (My usual dmesg is at the end of this post) I got this:

(ncr:6:0) COMMAND FAILED (6 2) @ f066f948
ncr0: aborting job...
ncr0:0 ERROR(90:0) (0-a3-0) (0-13) @ (418:43000060)
script cmd = 87860000
reg: da 00 00 13 47 00 06 1f 31 00 00 a3 90 01 0b 02
ncr0: restart (fatal error)

then a pause for about a minute, then

(ncr0:6:0): COMMAND FAILED (9 ff) @ f066f948
and all the other errors repeated. I rebooted, and it was OK. I have
successfully rebooted 3 times since, with no other errors.

Does/could this mean that there is something wrong with my controller/drive?

(I guess my drive is OK, as it hadn't got as far as detecting it.) The only
other problems I have had with this machine are with floppies (They are slow,
occasionally use a lot of CPU, produce errors like 'input ready timeout' and
'hard error at fsbn xxxx' (while reading and writing successfully) and at
least twice caused panics - but this may be the msdosfs, not the floppy.)
