I still have a strange problem with a Dell 450/SE : I have an adaptec
1542B and two SCSI disks. While I had only one disk, I encountered no
problem. But since I installed a new disk, I see these messages on the
console :

WARNING: SCSI: HA 0 - Incoming message not found

and nothing more. The system runs correctly, I just see that sometimes
on the screen.

But we also have a 433/SE and the story is nearly the same : one
ADAPTEC 1542B and one drive, no problem. Two drives and then the
message happens (Incoming message not found) ! However, when I perform
a job that requires a lot of transferts between the two drives, the
system hangs : I can still have acces to "/" or "/usr", but not to
"/usr3" (the slice representing the whole second drive). If I do a
ls(1) on /usr3, I can't even kill ls(1) afterwards and my session is
hung. The only solution is to reboot and then everything works fine.
When I say 'reboot', it doesn't mean to switch the power off and on
but to type 'init 6 < /dev/console' ( if I still can !)

Of course, I looked at terminators, drive numbers, etc.

PLEASE, HELP! I NEED TO FIX IT QUICK !!!!!! ANY HINT WELCOME !
