Which driver are you using for the SCSI chip ( assuming, you use the on-board chip on the UX ) ? There are some subtle specialities with the various Symbios/NCR chipsets along with the bunch of drivers supporting them in the Linux-kernel. Also, which SCSI-options do you set ( in the driver or via bootflags ) ? -- Thomas Weyergraf [EMAIL PROTECTED] My Favorite IA64 Opcode-guess ( see arch/ia64/lib/memset.S ) "br.ret.spnt.few" - got back from getting beer, did not spend a lot.
