Paul, George Morgan and I (see I added him to the CC:, he's not subscribed) are both seeing problems with inability to boot IBM Ultra 160 drives (he on a Adaptec 39160, me on a 29160). Can you tell me where you saw the stuff on this problem, so I can read up on it and see if there's some sort of fix for us?
