I got the MREJECT after reformatting the internal drive with Mac utilities
on a Mac. I don't get that message with an identical drive in the same
ANS500 that still has AIX on it. I expect the error to go away when I
reformat the drive again in a simpler way.

>>Hi All,

>>I just got an ANS 700, and have run into a problem with the IBM DFHSS4W
>>drive that was provided with the machine. The drive works fine under
>>AIX, but won't let me boot linux.

>>Using the dusers installer.coff or vmlinux.coff, during the boot process,

>>
>>ncr53c825a-0-<2,0>: M_REJECT received (2:8).
>>ncr53c825a-0: SCSI phase error fixup: CCB already dequeued (0xc4fd9020)
>>SCSI host 0 abort (pid 54) timed out - resetting
>>SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
>>ncr53c8xx_reset: pid=54 reset_flags=2 serial_number=98
>>serial_number_at_timeout=98
>>ncr53c825a-0: restart (scsi reset).
>>ncr53c825a-0-<2,0>: phase change 6-7 >>ncr53c825a-0-<2,0>: phase change 6-7 7@04fd94c8 resid=4.

>>...(and it loops back to the M_REJECT message again)
>>
>>If I disconnect the internal wide drive, and boot with an external narrow
>>scsi drive, the machine boots ok, and the internal cdrom works correctly.
>>(haven't tried the tape drive yet)
>>
>>Any suggestions on what I can do to solve this?

>>I've also read some suggestions that you can do an installation on the
