Nope. That wasn't the problem either. The drives were split
1,2,3,8,9,10,11
with 1-8 being in a RAID5 array. It's something that goes on between
the
NCR and the AIC driver. I really don't think it's to do with IDs or
anything
physical. Either these two are duking it out in the background over
resources
or the SD.c is getting confused about drive allocations.
