Hi,

I tried out a SCSI hd connected to a NCR8250S board.  This had /dev/sda1 (extended partition),
/dev/sda5 (FAT partition) and /dev/sda6 (ext2fs partition).

During wrtite, the following messages appeared:

Aug  2 18:01:10 infinity kernel: ncr53c825-0-<4,0>: phase change 2-7 6@0562ec20 resid=2.
Aug  2 18:01:10 infinity kernel: ncr53c825-0-<4,0>: phase change 2-7 10@05048038 resid=4.

After that, fdisk displays the following:

bash> fdisk /dev/sda
Warning: ignoring extra data in partition table 5
Warning: ignoring extra data in partition table 5
Warning: ignoring extra data in partition table 5
Warning: invalid flag ebb0 of partition table 5 will be corrected by w(rite)

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/sda: 65 heads, 63 sectors, 1017 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4095 * 512 bytes


Device Boot   Begin    Start      End   Blocks   Id  System

/dev/sda5   ?  1019130  1019242   9854412078276566   57  Unknown


I checked partitions from linux before mounting the disk, and everything
was o.k. The disk was running for 4 hurs and then the above happened.

How can I find out, what was going wrong?
