i am getting massive scsi parity error trying to install
2.1.6, 2.2-ALPHA, and 2.2-BETA.  install target is a quantum empire 2100,
fresh out of the box from quantum because its predecessor died.
i swapped in another scsi ribbon cable, same problem.  parity
is enable on the controller as well as the hd and the scsi cdrom.
i checked termination settings as well.

Same hw configuration used to work with metropolis, ibm, and hp drives
running 2.1.5.

hw config:
p166 on intel tucson motherboard w/ 430hx chipset and sound, 256k cache
2940UA
metrox meteor
60ns 64mb parity ram
ne2000 clone (used for ftp install)
nec 4x scsi cdrom
teac floppy

exact error message:

sd0(ahc0:0:0): ABORTED COMMAND info:c53a0 asc:47,0 SCSI parity error, retires:1

i like to know if this is a problem with the drive hw, or am i doing
something wrong.  if it's a drive problem i need to return it to quantum asap.

thanks a lot,
ping
