[crossposted to SCSI, with reply set to there]

 * [I sent this message to hackers, where it got no response, so maybe I
 * should have sent it here.  Apologies to those who will have seen it
 * twice.]

I don't read hackers because the noise level is so high. ;)

 * I was wondering if someone can explain the error message I'm suddenly
 * seeing on bootup of one of my systems.  It hangs with the message:
 * 
 * ncr0: SCSI phase error fixup: CCB already dequeued (0xf2467200)
 * ncr0 timeout ccb=f2466600 skip
 * ncr0 timeout ccb=f2466800 skip
 * ncr0 timeout ccb=f2466a00 skip
 * ncr0 timeout ccb=f2467200 skip
 * (hangs here)

I have seen something very similar on my system.  The Micropolis
3243WT (which I got as a replacement to an older 3243W) doesn't boot 3
out of 4 times with "ncr0 timeout" messages (I don't get the "already
dequeued" part, though).  The other two disks (Atlas I and II) don't
have this problem.  Also, removing the CDROM (the only narrow device
in the system) alleviated the symptoms somewhat (booted 3 out of 4
times).

 * I need to know what it means, and if there's any way to recover from it
 * without having to lose the whole disk (my boot disk, darn it!)  I get this
 * error on the system after it does the full fsck (successfully), and the
 * system has (in total) 2 - 2G disks (this is the first one), 1 - 200 meg
 * disk, and one cdrom, all scsi, all hooked to one ncr 825 controller
 * (Tyan).

Well, when I moved the Micropolis to an Adaptec 2940UW, everything
started working again. ;)
