Well, i am waiting for it right now(as I said takes forever), but here is something else, in /var/log/messages it report the following: Mar 27 09:49:59 ns sudo: val : TTY=ttyp0 ; PWD=/usr/home/val ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/tar --create --file /dev/rst0 /COPYRIGHT /WWW /bin /cdrom /dev /dist /etc /forward /home /kernel /kernel.GENERIC /kernel.old /mail /mnt /proc /root /sbin /stand /sys /tftpboot /tmp /usr /var Mar 27 09:49:59 ns /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:20,0 Invalid command operation code Other tech rebooted the system while it was running without telling me, so I had to restart it, and here is the messages: Mar 27 11:00:27 ns sudo: val : TTY=ttyp0 ; PWD=/usr/home/val ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/tar --create --file /dev/rst0 /COPYRIGHT /WWW /bin /cdrom /dist /etc /forward /home /kernel /kernel.GENERIC /kernel.old /mail /mnt /proc /root /sbin /stand /sys /tftpboot /tmp /usr /var Mar 27 11:00:27 ns /kernel: st0(ncr0:4:0): error code 0 After a while it usually comes back with some other error messages, but they always have st0(ncr0:4:0): in them. any input will be appreciated.
