Hi,
I used cvsup to grab the latest 2.2-STABLE on Friday
night, ran 'make world' and almost immediately began seeing problems
reading my SCSI disk.
The several errors on bootup report as:
sd0(ncr0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:62686 asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error, retries 3
While making a DAT backup of the disk 'cd /;tar cvfb /dev/rst0 20 .' The latest kernel reported:
assertion "cp" failed: file = "../../pci/ncr.c" line 5542
sd0(ncr0:0:0) COMMAND FAILED (4 28) @f05ca200
And the x server died.
A subsequent reboot reported no errors. The error seems to appear
erratically.
QUESTIONS:
1. is this problem a result of bad software in the kernel?
2. does this mean the NCR controller is toast?
3. does this mean the disk is trashed?
4. any recommendations?
Other info:
