On my 2.1.5 system, I never heard a complaint from the de driver, and the ncr driver might occasionally complain /kernel: sd1(ncr0:1:0): extraneous data discarded. during one of the nightly backups. But now it's happening more frequently. In addition, the de driver is sometimes complaining (particularly on system startup) /kernel: de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped I'm not that fussed about these, as they don't seem to be leading to loss of data, but it's intriguing. This is on a 2.1.7 system, 200MHz P6, 64MB, PCI. The devices in question are de0 rev 17 int a irq 10 on pci0:10 and ncr0 rev 2 int a irq 11 on pc i0:12 (ncr0:0:0): "FUJITSU M2952S-512 0124" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ncr0:0:0): Direct-Access sd0(ncr0:0:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8.
