I was recently given a Pentium (with bug) PCI/Eisa Board for 
replacing my current setup consisting of 486/66 with Adaptec,
to serve as the new wipux2.wifo.uni-mannheim.de.

It came as ordered with a NCR SCSI Card, and an Eisa SMC
Elite32C Ultra. (It's an ASUS PCI/E-P54NP4 motherboard---
Does NetBSD support Dual-Processor (Intel MP-specs) ?)

I replaced the Eisa Ultra with my old working Isa SMC until
I'm told that the 'ed*' driver will work with it too, or have
time to check it out myself.

I then set about connecting my working internal and external
drives to the NCR Controller.... which failed....
	It was set up as INT-A, IRQ 11, no termination on board.
	it rebooted immediatly after the line "scsibus0 at ncr0". 
	I messed with the cache settings and every else I could find,
	but it didn't resolve.

	I tried the original kcaha-1.0 file and it booted,
	recognised the disks, but when I copied the kernel
	to the harddisk, it just hung on "changing root device"
	(probably incompatibilties between current and 1.0)

I then took my old (isa) Adaptec and put it in and connected
the drives back to it. I changed the NCR's IRQ to 9 to avoid
conflict with the Adaptec.... which worked....

I then tried connecting first the internal disk and then the
external disk (alone) to the ncr, leaving the other disks on
the Adaptec and turning on termination of the scsi-controller-
boards..... which failed .... it rebooted as above.

SO. It seems that although the kernel will recognise my ncr
controller, as soon as it finds a disk connected to it, it reboots.

I've affixed a 'dmesg' of it the way it is now working to the
end, the only change between working and not working is that
no devices are connected to ncr.

Has anybody got a working current-kernel for ncr, with internal
and external disks ? Has anybody got some Ideas ? I used 'GENERIC'
for the kernel-config.new-file and modified it, removing the
'eisa0 at root' line (since it doesn't compile otherwise) and
any uneeded controllers and options. (it's also appended after the dmesg)

Cheerio

PS Does the ed*-driver work for eisa SMC's ?
