hello all 
(finally back after being away from the list for a few months!) 

i just tried booting a 3000/600 from the diskimage in the 1.4.1 
installation dirs. (just ftp'ed it this evening)
when it booted, it had some wacky results trying to talk to the onboard 
SCSI adapters, and after almost 10 minutes , and many messages like this:

probe(asc1:4:0): ncr53c9x_abort: not NEXUS
probe(asc1:4:0): asc1: timed out [ecb 0xfffffe000011e7c8 (flags 0x41, 
dleft 2c, stat 0)], <state 8, nexus 0x0, phase(l 80, c 101, p 101), resid 2c, msg(q 20,o 0) > AGAIN

it continued booting but has no concept of the scsi buses or the disks 
attached to them. I got this same problem from the 1.4x series kernels, which
is why i decided to ginally go with 1.4.1. Any kernel i built from 1.4x would
give this problem, though the generic 1.4m and 1.4t kernels worked fine. 
anyway, does anybody have any ideas about this?

happy hacking,
