It's a SONY Magneto-Optical Disk Drive SMO-F521. I'm using a ADAPTEC 1540CF/1542CF at IRQ 11, DMA 5, Host ID 7, Port 330h. These following messages are being written in my log messages: Apr 1 21:35:07 oberon /kernel: sd0(aha0:2:0): timed out Apr 1 21:35:07 oberon /kernel: adapter not taking commands.. frozen?! Apr 1 21:35:07 oberon /kernel: Debugger("aha1542") called.

Apr 1 21:35:12 oberon /kernel: Debugger("aha1542") called. Apr 1 21:35:12 oberon /kernel: These other following messges appear when I boot my computer: aha0 at 0x330-0x333 irq 11 drq 5 on isa aha0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (aha0:2:0): "SONY SMO-F521-00 2.03" type 0 removable SCSI 1 sd0(aha0:2:0): Direct-Access 311MB (637041 512 byte sectors) I'm using a 1304 MB double side rewritable Magneto Optical Disk with 1024 byte/sector. When I try to create a partition the sysinstall is not able to record the necessary informations to keep the partition permanent. Any suggestions are welcome Thanks in advance.
