The driver could quirk around it, but you'd best contact gibbs@freebsd.org for instructions on how to proceed. But please verify your interconnect is 100% solid -- 99.99% of SCSI problems are due to interconnect issues, and justin doesn't have a lot of time to chase those down :) > I recall that Adaptec had a firmware bug in all controllers with earlier > versions than 3.00. That's be news to me. I've used hundreds of adaptec boards with 2.5X firmware with no issues, at least the ahc-core stuff. ahd (Ultra320) is a whole nother ballgame. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
