Date: Fri, 19 Jul 1996 12:33:42 BST X-Mailer: Offlite 0.09 / Termite Internet for Acorn RISC OS Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 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.)
