I've got an W6-LI motherboard dual PPro-180 with onboard SCSI (AIC-7880) and the 3.0-CURRENT release (early Jan.) works for me. Maybe you could temporarily borrow some good friend's scsi controller, disable your onboard controller, and hook up your disks to that controller. Might also be a funny BIOS setting. Are you running the onboard SCSI controller at ULTRA speeds (20Mhz)? Try running that at 10MHz and see if that helps. In message <36BECCEB.59411AED@mtmc.ru>, "Vladimir G.
