Does anyone know of similar changes to the Linux source that would prevent the system from hanging on startup with the following message? sending SDTR 0103013f0csync_xfer=2cscsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 7, scsi0, channel 0, id 3, lun 0 Inquiry 00 00 scsi0: Aborting connected command 7 - stopping DMA - sending wd33c93 ABORT command - flushing fifo - asr - 20, sr=ff, 16777215 by - sending wd33c93 DISCONNECT command - asr = 20, sr=18. If this is a bug, as Alan said, maybe there's hope for my drive, as well as the one Alex has. Thanks, Mike -- Michael Hill Toronto, Canada mdhill@interlog.com
