Don't install all of the scsi patches contained on the SunOS 4.0.1 tape. We did and now our cartidge tape unit hangs whenever we use it! I am back to running the generic kernel from SunOS 4.0 until I can backout the changes and things are back to normal. I wish you could have the same confidence in applying Sun's maintenance releases as we do with DEC's.

This one bit me and for a variety of reasons cost me nearly a week before I suspected the 4.0.1 patches. According to sun the problem occurs on certain configurations of disk and memory. It will be fixed in 4.1. If it is any help, my configuration is: 3/280, 16Mb memory, <Hitachi DK815-10 cyl 1735 alt 2 hd 15 sec 67>, sun qic scsi tape. I backed-out the "scsi" patch with remove-fix and the problem seems to have gone away. Now on to the next bug. Darrel Lager (lager@lucky.llnl.gov)
