Okay, I said 'n' to the sym and 'y' to the ncr... Now I get a bunch of scsi resets in place of the previous error! I let
it sit there a about 15 seconds and it ended up with like 7 or so scsi resets... Again, the stock 2.0.36 works, but
2.2.9 doesn't. BTW, I'm using make-kpkg to build the kernel, if it makes any difference. Any ideas?
TIA,
Ron
