Could you please send a verbose boot log for your system ? (Enter "-v" at the "Boot: " prompt.) This could have been caused by IRQ mapping problems, this is the only thing which might conflict between the NCR and an EIDE controller ... > I know it's not really a bug, per se, but perhaps it will help improve > handling of the condition, or maybe the 2nd ctrlr didn't really help, > just coincidence? I don't know what the error codes mean... Well, they are not too meaningful in this particular case. A command was aborted with no data left to transfer. Then there is the exact position in the NCR SCRIPTS code, where this happened (in the WIDE SCSI negotiation code: Do you really have a WIDE SCSI drive connected ???) Please send some more information for me to understand what actually went wrong ... Regards, STefan
