I am afraid I don't. I have seen exactly the same result on an IBM 226, which
is a similar machine just down-market. So it would be interesting to know if
there are any simple solutions. Be aware that if you do not use a RAID
controller in these machines, the hostraid solution on the Adaptec card
renders the discs useless too.
