I've been getting weird ncr53c8xx problems also. In fact, I've had to
reinstall linux because I got back from work today, and found my hard
drive (seagate Model: ST39173W) completely wiped out of any data,
including the partition tables. I was running kernel 2.2.13, redhat 5.2.
and the tekram DC-390F.
After re-installing linux (redhat 5.2),
I'm getting the message below in my log files:
------------------------BEGIN---------------------------------

Has anybody had this problem? What would cause such a thing to happen?
I sent out the message below a week or so ago; then, I was using the
sym53c8xx driver. But the total data wipe-out happened when I switched
back to using the ncr53c8xx driver.

If anybody can enlighten as to why I'm getting total data wipe-outs, and
these error messages, please help. It is a very discomforting thought to
realize that these errors might lead to another data wipe-out.
Thanks
