I get the normal kernel boot up and the 'got boot device' message finds the card with the hard disk on and identifies it correctly. The BSD root reports OK. Then I get a message like:
jnl: journal start/end pointers rest! (jnl 0x1d17dc4; s 0x33e600 e 0x33e600)
Which looks like an FS problem with the journalling FS. Something significant is the hard disk's LED is locked on until i reboot.
Eventually, and this is after a LONG time (it happened while I was typing this and doing a few other things so i guess it was about 20 mins, maybe 30) I get this error:
MESH: 0 0 runDBDMA - Arbitrate/Reselect problem.
Which repeats at regular intervals of about 10 mins (I have 3 up currently).
Soooo.... any ideas?
UPDATE:
I attached a pair of Cheetah 18XLs to the bus on a longer cable with a terminator at the end (LVD 68-pin) and it got a bit further through the boot before it stopped. It was merrily loading this time before it stopped - got passed the 'Welcome to Macintosh' line in the boot output, seemed to initialize the ethernet cards, then it locked again. I dunno if the card is to blame, or the cable, or the drive, or OS X.
