- I had a problem with my tape backup setup that was caused by the tape
- drive not identifying itself during bootup, so the SCSI bus was
- constantly being polled and, when I used the drive, the system was very
- intermittent.
-
- The outward manifestation of this problem was frequent system lockups,
- even when the tape drive was not being used.
-
- I resolved the problem by inserting a tape and closing the tape drive's
- door during bootup.

- The above may not affect your situation, but it may improve it.
