DG has looked at this extensively and the current feeling is that this is
a hardware bug. Using the sym driver instead of the ncr driver
apparently helps somewhat, but the problem still happens. The generally
recommended option is to buy an Adaptec SCSI controller and use that
instead of the on-board SCSI. That works flawlessly.
