I am installing virgin 4.2 on several VAX 11/780's.
I have succeeded with 2 of them but have hit a snag with the third one.
I can load the mini and full root, but in tarring in /usr on /dev/ra0h, I
get the following errors, usually followed by a hung system.

/* One iteration of */
uda0: hard error, disk transfer error, unit 0, grp 0x0, hdr  0xb1558
/* several iterations of */
uda0: hard error, SDI error, unit 0, event 0353, hdr 0x0 


The sequence can repeat with a higher hdr number.

This VAX has two memory controllers with 4 MB on mcr0 and 2 MB  on mcr1;
one uda50; and 3 ra81 drives.

DEC has been in several times and can't isolate the problem.

I'll appreciate any help the net can offer.

Thanks,
