Hi. Use BusLogic BT-948 (Ultra Narrow) or the BT-958 (Ultra Wide) in this case. Been through this myself. The BusLogic's work with no problem with the FreeBSD 2.x branch. If you are getting these types of messages on boot, then the BusLogic will solve it. If you get these messages after up and running, then I don't know what your problem is with the system. IF you are getting these on boot/boot probe... are you using the Adaptec in a plain old Pentium class motherboard (like CPU < 233 MHZ)? This was the case for me. Had a bunch of new 2940UW's, and they didn't work in some P90' or P200's. Then I got some Pentium II's. Plug those same Adaptec's in them and guess what? They WORKED! Good Luck Roger. > You neglected to tell us the model of Adaptec SCSI card you are using. Also, > you do realize that FreeBSD 2.2.2 is a bit old.
