I've got the same controller (2842) with an Archive 2150S SCSI-I tape drive, and sometimes the first attempt to write to the drive after a boot fails in the above manner. At the same time I also see a console message that says: st0: bad request, must be between 0 and 0 Immediately retrying the failed command usually works just fine. -- Mike Pritchard mpp@legarto.minn.net "Go that way.
