Dear Managers,

We have an Alphaserver 1000A with 4 PCI SCSI-Controllers : Normal SCSI
                                   2 PCI SCSI-Controller : Wide SCSI
 
When powering off/on the Server mounts all disks: >>>sho dev all disks seen
                                         single user boot all disks seen
                                         multiuser boot all disks will
                                                                 be mounted.
 
But:
After crash or shutdown/init 0 some strange things happen:
 
>>>show dev all disks seen
single user boot all disks seen
mulituser boot some disks are not mounted, error message: no such device !!!
 
The disks with the error message are not always the same. But the disks which
are not seen are all on the same PCI-SCSI-Controller at this time. Next boot,
other PCI-SCSI-Controller is not working correct (disks are mounted: no such
                                                 device!!!)
 
in console mode we set: set boot_reset on
 
The motherboard/cpu is replaced by a new one, same problems.

All disks are terminated correctly, but it's possible that the cables to long.

Here are some more informations about this machine:
