I have installed ver 0.9 of NCR53C8xx into my kernel ver 2.0.35 on 
my Dec but when I boot I get Cache Incorrectley Configured and 
the system halts.  Any Ideas?

I have had considable amouts of problems with my dat drive and the 
system  has a memory leak in the kernel 2.0.35 it seam to have to 
do with buffers but it is also with an older NCR53C8xxx driver. 
one of the problems is when I use the tape drive it corupts one or 
both of the drives and I have to reformat and reinstall to fix the 
problem..
Here is a lay out of my SCSI chain:

DEC Alpha
    |
    |
root hard drive Quantum Firball_TM3200s 3 gig id1
   |
   |
home drive Microplis 3243-19 4 gig id2
   |
   |
dat drive Archive Python 28388 id4
  |
  |
NEC 7 disk disk changer MBR-7 id 3

I am also passing this to the scsi driver:
/bin/echo setflag 4 > /proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0
/bin/echo setflag 3 > /proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0
/bin/echo setverbose 0 > /proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0
/bin/echo settags 4 0 > /proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0  


Thanks...
