First, I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE on an asus P55T2P4 3.10 motherboard with an AMD K6-233. Devices include two Seagate ST31200N's, a DEC RZ26L, an External Zip (SCSI), a Plextor 12/20-PLEX cd-rom, and (the problem) an Exabyte 4200-c DAT tape drive. With the ncr 860 card the tape drive works as expected faithfully completing backups. The errors only occur on start up. Here's a snippit of dmesg: --- begin --- (ncr0:4:0): "EXABYTE EXB-4200c 149" type 1 removable SCSI 2 st0(ncr0:4:0): Sequential-Access ncr0: SCSI phase error fixup: CCB address misma tch (0xf0852400 != 0xf06a6400) np->ccb = 0xf06a6400 st0(ncr0:4:0): phase change 6-7 6@004bf5d8 resid=4. st0(ncr0:4:0): asynchronous. st0(ncr0:4:0): M_REJECT received (4:8). density code 0x13, drive empty --- end --- The device is setup to 5MB/sec with queue tags disabled, 8 bit width in the 860's setup. The machine is running flawlessly and I did not notice any problems until I made the mistake of upgrading the SCSI card to an NCR 53C875. The darn system would not boot until the tape was removed from the chain. I have the error messages if anyone is interested, but thought I would address these oddities with my narrow card before jumping further into the fire. Any suggestions or info appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- jmastrol@mcs.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
