Hmm, this is quite interesting ... You managed to complete the installation once, but now it fails reproducible ??? The error code indicates a command abort. The command in question is a SELECT, and the SCSI bus is all logical '1', except for the BSY line. This doesn't look right at all. Did you switch off your computer and disk drives between trys ? Maybe the SCSI drive cable has been disconnected and not been put back correctly ? Are there still the SDMS BIOS messages indicating that drive was found ??? It really looks like some change in the hardware causes this problem ...
