Please post the complete error messages. The return code looks like a timeout but the SCSI code should say so, and properly handle timeouts (now that might be what the machine check is about). Other interesting information includes: kernel version and where you got that kernel image, and the model of oldworld Mac this happened on. Plus look at the kernel boot messages ('dmesg' is your friend) to tell if this is a MESH or NCR53C9x SCSI controller. CC to linuxppc-dev please, someone there might have an idea. Michael
