mmh.
I disabled disconnect, and now get this error
<4> scsi0: (-1:-1:-1) Referenced SCB 255 not valid during SELTO
<4> SCSISEQ=0x5a SEQADDR=0x7 SSTAT0=0x10 SSTAT1=0x88
<6> scsi0: (-1:-1:-1) Invalid WAITING_SCBH value 128, improvising
repeatedly, with SEQADDR alternating between 0x7 and 0x8
Does this tell you anything? Is this expected?
no I don't have access to another.
