HELP!
Our main system went down last night and I tried to reboot and got a scsi
timeout on target 0. So perhaps the boot drive is bad? I moved it to
another system and it saw the partitions ok. I put it back and same
timeout. I have since made another boot hard drive from backup tapes and
that one wont boot either.
I've tried changing scsi cables, and tried eliminating every other scsi
device except the boot.

It does find the drive, and bootstrap, and goes through some of the
beginning boot steps... it gets this far...

...
dli: configured
cam_logger: CAM_ERROR packet
cam_logger: bus 0 target 0 lun 0
ss_perform_timeout
timeout on disconnect request

I'm at a loss now since I dont think it's a bad hard drive.
Maybe motherboard hardware failure!?
We do not have any system hardware agreement.
(PS this is a Digital Alpha 250 4/266 running Digital Unix v4.0B)

Any ideas!???
Thanks...
