Hi,

i have a problem with a scsi hard disk IBM DCAS-34330 connected to an
AHA-2940.
I think the error is caused by the domain validation.

The system was running for 7 hours correctly (average load, + every hour it
performed a "dd if=/dev/sda3 of=/dev/null" for testing purposes).
Then it did this "Domain validation" and immediately afterwards the errors
occured.
No login was possible anymore.

1. What is this domain validation ?
2. Is there a bugfix available ?
3. Is it a hardware problem ?
   (the system was previously running under novell 3.2 w/o any problems)
4. Is there a way to force the Domain validation. -> reproducing the bug ?

TIA

Michael

P.S.: sorry for the long log files ... I didn't know where to start.
