It also pretty much looks like the old dreadful aic7xxx 5.x. and aha1542-cannot-recover-troubles are close. Is there a driver bug or is the hardware a pile of dung? The machine boots from the Seagate Disk (ext3fs) and has the IBM for additional storage (reiserfs 3.6). It has never been suspicious in the past. Apart from the messages, the machine seems to behave: scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.1 aic7880: Ultra Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST34572N Rev: 0784 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: IBM Model: DCAS-32160 Rev: S65A Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: CD-ROM XM-3801TA Rev: 0207 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 scsi0:0:0:0: Tagged Queuing enabled.
