OK, I've now tried a 29160N adaptor with a DPT cable (with non-removable
terminator as per the previous Adaptec cable), and have even removed the
DAT drive from the system and I still see the same sort of errors
following an initdb/reload.
A couple of things I've noticed:
- It always crashes on the same database which is some way through the
original dump file and my vacuum script. If I drop that one it may or
may not crash on another one further through the script.
- Sometimes everything works fine until I reboot the system.
I'll see if I can downgrade the kernel later today though it's all a bit
hectic with the easter break tomorrow so it may have to wait until next
week.
Still, if anyone has any more ideas, I'd be grateful...
Regards, Dave.
