It seems that the HP C37xx series of SCSI disks are being tickled by the NCR scsi code in FreeBSD. I can duplicate your problem here using the model C3725 and either an NCR 53C810 or NCR 53C825. I suggest you switch to an aha2940, but you will probably have to backup/restore the entire system to do this due to geometry translation differences. We really need a SCSI expect to go rewrite the firmware for the NCR cards, what we have today has so many incompatibility problems it is getting hard to spec systes using it :-(. > Thanks for any help, Sorry, not much real help :-(. Stephan Esser may have a list of things you can turn off in the NCR code that gets it working... > -Jim -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
