[This not a FreeBSD problem, but unless I can get this solved, I won't be able to run FreeBSD on this new system. :)] I'm currently building a 2.1.5-R server using the following components: Intel P100 CPU Adaptec 2940 Seagate ST51080N Medialist 1gig SCSI HD Trident 9440AGi PCI SVGA card Sony CDU76S SCSI CD-ROM Drive 24 egs of RAM No name PCI motherboard using the Intel i430VX PCIset chipset The problem I'm running into is that the Seagate refuses to work with the Adaptec 2940. When I try to use the Adaptec's SCSI Select utility to low level the harddrive, I get the following error dialog: Unexpected SCSI Command Failed Target SCSI ID: 1 SCSI CDB Sent: 03 00 00 00 0E 00 Host Adapter Status: 00h - No host adapter error Target Status: 02h - Check condition Sense Key: 0Bh +Sense Code: 40h +Sense Code Qualifier: 01h I get the following error if I try to verify the Seagate disk media, using the Adaptec SCSISelect utils: Target SCSI ID: 1 SCSI CDB Sent: 03 00 00 00 0E 00 70 00 03 00 Host Adapter Status: 00h - No host adapter error Target Status: 02h - Check condition Sense Key: 03h - Medium error +Sense Code: 31h +Sense Code Qualifier: 00h The Seagate J8 option Jumper block is jumpered as follows: 2 34 o o o o o o o o o o-o o o o o o | | | o o o o o o o o o o o-o o o o o o 1 33 ~~~~~ ~ ~~~ | | | | | +- Power from drive power connector and to SCSI Bus | +- Parity Enable ^^^[Termination?] +- SCSI ID: 3 At this point, I am at a loss on how to fix this and continue with the hardware setup. Can anyone shed some light on how to go on? Or could the above errors mean I just have a bad drive? Thanks for any insights.
