I have the scsi controller bios (ver 1.31p) set to enable booting from CD, and have the jumper on the CD for "Block", which the manual says "Leave this jumper off, unless you are working in the unix environment and want to boot from your CD-ROM drive." I've tried it both ways. I've tried booting with the CD jumper both ways, to no effect. I originally had the CD scsi ID set to 6, with the HDDs at 0 and 1. That would, I thought, explain booting only from HDD-0, assuming it was bootable. However, I recently changed the IDs so the CD is 0 and the HDDs are 1 and 2, with no better luck. I'm now using an Asus A7N8X-E mobo, which appears to have bios boot settings only for SCSI in general, and not a particular type of SCSI device. It does have settings for CD-ROM and HDD-0,1,2,3 but as nearly as I can tell those all assume EIDE devices. Any ideas why I can't boot from the CD?'

Plextor CD-ROMs are slow to get ready after a reset or cold start, I've needed to increase the "Delay before BIOS scans device" in my Tekram DC-390U (default 3 s, options are 5 s, 10 s, and beyond up to 30 s IIRC, before I could boot from a CD in my Plextor PX-32TSi. The SCSI BIOS needs to provide the boot sector of the CD-ROM in floppy emulation for older PC BIOS, and some CDs don't run in emulation mode but boot directly, which doesn't work with older mobo BIOS... > I'm now using an Asus A7N8X-E mobo, which appears to have bios boot ...but I think the A7N8X should handle things fine... > settings only for SCSI in general, and not a particular type of SCSI > device.

Try increasing the delay between bus reset and bus scan, try switching off the bus reset. Note that I don't have a Flashpoint LT, so all I can say is play with the options. Some BIOSes need several options on to boot from CD. Note that this is not FreeBSD-specific AFAICS, so if you have further questions, please ask BusLogic or in some adequate newsgroup for help. -- Matthias Andree Encrypted mail welcome: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95 (PGP/MIME preferred) From owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Sep 13 21:39:36 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 46FCD16A4CE for ; Mon, 13 Sep 2004 21:39:36 +0000 (GMT) Received: from mail.dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de (krusty.dt.e-technik.Uni-Dortmund.DE [129.217.163.1]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EFD7043D3F for ; Mon, 13 Sep 2004 21:39:35 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from ma@dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1])1C2093DBD9 for ; Mon, 13 Sep 2004 23:39:35 +0200 (CEST) Received: from mail.dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (krusty [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with LMTP id 09298-01 for ; Mon, 13 Sep 2004 23:39:35 +0200 (CEST) Received: from m2a2.dyndns.org (p508EF6ED.dip.t-dialin.net [80.142.246.237]) C174B3DB2A for ; Mon, 13 Sep 2004 23:39:34 +0200 (CEST) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by merlin.emma.line.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A08E0CF052 for ; Mon, 13 Sep 2004 23:39:33 +0200 (CEST) Received: from merlin.emma.line.org ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (m2a2.dyndns.org [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with LMTP id 17239-03 for ; Mon, 13 Sep 2004 23:39:33 +0200 (CEST) Received: by merlin.emma.line.org (Postfix, from userid 500) id 4E7BBCEBBA; Mon, 13 Sep 2004 23:39:33 +0200 (CEST) To: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org From: Matthias Andree Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2004 23:39:33 +0200 Message-ID: User-Agent: Gnus/5.110003 (No Gnus v0.3) Emacs/21.3 (gnu/linux) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new at dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de Subject: sym(4): Linux sym53c8xx_2 license change to GPL-only X-BeenThere: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: SCSI subsystem List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2004 21:39:36 -0000 Greetings, Who maintains FreeBSD's sym(4) driver?

He's dropped the Linux support officially and handed Linux 2.6 maintenance over to Matthew Wilcox who's been doing a good job so far. All the more concerned I am about the license change. I've asked for the motives on the linux-scsi list (see the URL I posted in my previous mail here).

I wasn't aware FreeBSD was still with the old driver. Matthew offered to relicense his driver if there was strong interest from the BSD camp, but until then, he'd rather prevent someone taking the driver to the proprietary camp.

I have a problematic box from a vendor called "Einux". Not my choice, it was already here, it was expensive, and I needed to use it for our mail server. It's running FreeBSD 4.8p-something, and has an Adaptec 2110S single-channel raid controller with 4 drives in a 1+0 setup. IBM drives (blech). The controller has been dropping drives left and right. Adaptec has little to say, and we have four new Seagate Cheetah's waiting to be installed anyhow. But now I'm getting curious about the scsi backplane in this thing. There's no docs, and Einux has apparently disappeared from the business. I did dig up a phone number for them, and got a bit of info about the backplane. (http://web.archive.org/web/20011230060219/einux.com/A2200.html) Perhaps someone can help me identify it... The case is 2U, with 3 drives stacked on each other in one backplane, 3 more in another. Each backplane has two scsi connectors, and no indication of whether it auto-terminates or not. I'm kind of screwed with no docs here, so any "intuition" anyone might have about these backplane setups would be most appreciated. The way everything is cabled now is: raid controller->first backplane unit->second backplane unit->active terminator (one cable). Looking more closely, those backplanes should probably be chained: raid controller->top connector of first backplane (one cable), bottom connector of first backplane -> top connector of second backplane, then possibly a terminator hanging off of the bottom connector of the second backplane. Sorry for being so far OT, if anyone has ideas as to where else to post, I'm all ears. Googling for "einux" and "backplane" doesn't turn up anything of interest.

I've been using scsi stuff since '96, so I really have no excuse. I know that you always chain from drive to drive, I don't know why I did it like this... So my problems probably start there, and end with IBM crap drives. Does anyone else here have any stories to share with Adaptec/DPT raid controllers and IBM drives? The other systems that I've had problems with drives going to "failed" state were cabled properly, but also exclusively used IBM drives from the "dark years" of IBM and/or Hitachi.
