Can you put everything on hose0 rather than hose1, or use the qlogic card rather than the ncr? There's something about how we encode hose numbers in 4.x that breaks ncr/sym cards (this is no longer a problem in 5.x). > Do you still need the output from show conf, or did I > answer your question?

You cut and paste from your terminal emulator, or console-server log file. ;-) In general, having direct output from the console is immensely useful to those trying to help and, as a result, tends to generate much better feedback for the person with the problem.
