>I installed FreeBSD release 2.1.7 yesterday, and I've been dealing with some >very strange errors since then. Your account sounds very much like a termination problem. Many changes have been made to the driver since 2.1.0, one of them being to honor the termination settings stored either in a serial eeprom attached to the adapter or left over from a bios. In the past, the termination was always set regardless of cable configuration or user settings. Could it be that your SBC is not properly configured and/or is not setting the termination properly? To find out, boot with the -v flag and note all of the aic7xxx driver messages. You can also see if you BIOS includes SCSI-Select and modify the setting there to match your configuration. Let me know what information you find. >-- >Jim Speth >scruz-net engineering > > -- Justin T.
