Greetings,

I've got a friend who's having trouble with his Future Domain 1660.
I've never had problems with my AHA, so I promised him his would
work flawlessly also.. Yeah right... ;) I guess this is .99pl9.
And it's on a 386/33.

Here's the boot blurb (hand typed):

{Etc...}
Future Domain: BIOS at ca000, port base 140; using IRQ 14
Future Domain: SCSI Bus Reset
Future Domain: IRQ 14 requested from kernel
scsi0: Future Domain TMC-16x0 SCSI driver version 3.5
scsi: 1 hosts
    Vendor: MAXTOR Model: Xt-4380S Rev: B3C
    Type: Direct Access ANSI SCSI revision: 01 ccs
Detected scsi disk sd0 at scsi2, id 0, lun 0
SCSI (Future Domain): target = 0, command = 3, status = 8
Future Domain: SCSI Bus Reset
Unable to reset scsi host 2
Kernel panic:
In swapper ....... {Etc...}

Hmmmm?!?? Am I reading that two hosts were detected? That's scary.
Obviously the second bus reset is gonna fubar, but why? He only has
one host. Does the rz23 look like a host? I don't mean to list all his
devices, but it is pertinent info.

His devices in order are:
0 - the maxtor detected
1 - rz23 <---- the culprit??
2 - viper tape
3 - NEC84 CDROM
4 - Gigatrend tape
6 - the host (FD's hardcoded position.. ARGGG)

I prefer email, c.o.l is swamped, but scsi traffic is read also.

Regards,

-robert
