Hello guru's

We have a problem connecting some RZ29L 4Gb disks, mounted into a BA346 box
and connected to an Alpha AXP150. We can write onto this RZ29L, but doing
an fsck or reading the disk afterwards hangs the system:

fsck -o /dev/rz2c
/sbin/ufs_fsck -o /dev/rz2c
** /dev/rz2c
** Last Mounted on
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
cam_logger: CAM_ERROR packet
cam_logger: bus 0 target 2 lun 0
Ss_perform_timeout
Timeout on disconnected request
.
.
Reached max abort count, scheduled bus reset
aha_bus_reset
Resetting the SCSI bus at request

I/O on an RZ28 - also in this box mounted - show no problem at all. The
problem must be on the alpha-side, because we connected the BA-box
including cable and disks to an NT system and could read/write without any
problems.

We are running Dunix 3.2G (cannot yet upgrade). The AXP150 has the latest
firmware (2.2) loaded. According to local Digital-support this
configuration is allowed but they cannot help us on another way as swapping
HW (SCSI Ctrl, BA-Box, dsk) which didn't bring anything.

Has somebody seen this problem before or maybe even know a solution?

Any help is welcome
