Help needed with SC750/eagle and panic when used for swapping.

[Chris Torek]

	... the system panics with the following:

	hp1: not ready
	hp1X: hard error snYYYY mbsr=13100<ATTN,DTCMP,DTABT,MXF> \
		er1=4<RMR> er2=100000<BSE> mr=10 mr2=11777

I don't know of a fix but the problem is most likely not the disk
drive.  The ``not ready'' message comes from /sys/vaxmba/mba.c whenever
the ready bit is off unexpectedly.  Probably you have a hardware
problem in the SC750, or something like that.  (Might just be a loose
card....  Considering the bits, it looks like the SC750 is executing
some commands that were never sent to it.)

[The bits above decode to: ATTN => drive attention bit on, DTCMP =>
data transfer complete, DTABT => data transfer aborted, MXF => missed
transfer, RMR => register modification refused, BSE => bad sector
error.  The above can be found, after a bit of searching, in the VAX
hardware books, or you can look in /sys/vaxmba/mbareg.h and
/sys/vaxmba/hpreg.h, if you have kernel sources.]
