What kernel do you use? Please use at least the 2.2.20 (preferably the
2.2.23 ) kernel from sourceforge, and if using more than 1 disk try
disabling SCSI reselect commands with
mac53c9x=1,0
in the penguin kernel command-line box.
(To be complete that should be mac53c9x=2,0 on Quadra900 and 950's).
HTH, Erik.
