I got the same problems but discovered after quite a whole that the real problem was that my Maxtor SCSI drive is sensitive to heat. I upgraded my Fan to a stronger one, and the problem did go away. If your problem pops up after having run the system for some hours and not directly after startup, try to improve the cooling of the drive by if you could improve the flow of air inside the cabinett or upgrade the fan from 32m*3/h to 54m*3/h or even 154m*3/h. I still had problems with 54m*3/h, but the 154m*3/h. Robbox -- Roberth Lundin Phone: +46 8 7284233 Nordic Bull Unix Center, NBX FAX: +46 8 7284222
