Ok here is the situation. I have an alphastation 200 4/233 with 96 megs of ram. I just installed this system today. I cvsup'd new source and went to compile a custom kernel using a configuration I use on two other identical systems. The problem is that when I attempt to boot this system the ncr driver "discarded data" and after 6 or so discards it announces that it cannot read block 16. I immediately booted with generic and it worked fine. Is there a known issue with this driver? I have had similar problems with the ncr's in my other systems. Those systems are running current from about 3 weeks ago. If I change the SCSI Delay in the kernel config and then reboot without powering off, the system will hang at the ncr driver. Basically I have had this problem on 3 different ncr's with 4 different hard disks. If anyone has any information about this please let me know. -don To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
