Strange Interaction between Symbios, AIC7XXX and Scsi Disk modules

the solution for removing, adding, and spinning up a scsi disk drive is: echo "scsi remove-single-device a b c d" /proc/scsi/scsi echo "scsi add-single-device a b c d " /proc/scsi/scsi in line 2, the space after the d is important due to a bug where: a is Host No (usually 0) b is Channel

Nope. That wasn't the problem either. The drives were split 1,2,3,8,9,10,11 with 1-8 being in a RAID5 array. It's something that goes on between the NCR and the AIC driver. I really don't think it's to do with IDs or anything physical. Either these two are duking it out in the background
