I am having a problem with 2.0.20 and 2.0.21 (may be others but I have not
tested as yet) with my NCR53c825 (Tyan S1365) and Seagate wide baracuda.
I am not using the BSD support. It happens with two different S1365 cards
in my P6DOF, but it seems to work OK in my 5X86 system ok. Any ideas?
Very infrequently I can boot from the disk but will get a random fail at
various points. Think the drive could be getting flaky? It did work
before (but with lower level kernels, the last I tested was 1.3.97).
