Hi, First off: _very_ cool list! Lurking here has been exceedingly helpful.
We're running Debian 1.3.1 (bo, kernel 2.0.30) on an Intel "Premier PCI II" motherboard, with a 90MHz Penti, 32MB, BusLogic BT-948, and Quantum Fireball Drive. Several times a day we get messages on the console describing a SCSI error, the system is momentarily frozen, and then everything is fine . . . On bootup it looks like this: Dec 1 13:40:35 mail kernel: scsi: ***** BusLogic SCSI Driver Version 2.0.9 of 29 March 1997 ***** Dec 1 13:40:35 mail kernel: scsi: Copyright 1995 by Leonard N.
