I'm confused as to why device drivers might be crashing when running on identical hardware

I would be suprised if your hardware was truly identical .. make a note
of the LEDs prior to the 888's and then if we get to > 299 then we will
know.

Right, I have some error codes - but first an interesting development.
Today I used dd to take a disk image, then wrote it back with dd to the
same machine and it fails to boot. I have done this successfully
before, but probably using different block size settings in dd.

Any idea whether I need to specify a particular block size when using
dd to take the image ?

Anyway, the code sequences:
218
219
220
216
290
278
291
283
271
223
299
888 -> reset -> 103 -> 207 -> 299 -> 888

Any pointers to what this means ?
I presume it means an SRN of 207-299; I have found a copy of
"Diagnostic Information for Multiple Bus Systems" but the code is not
listed in there. I'm not sure if this is the right document for our
machine types though...

Any help much appreciated !
