This is because your system does not have a serial eeprom attached the the aic7880. The only way the driver can determine this is by attempting to read it and to perform a checksum comparison. If a serial eeprom is not found, the driver is smart enough to pull the "left over BIOS settings" off the chip and use them. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
