This may be a shot in the dark but you might try a BIOS firmware uprgrade from HP. I was having SCSI problems on a Vectra XU 6/200 when I bought a 29160 and found the problem to be my BIOS. Flashing the bios fixed it. |> /\ \/ @ davidd@datasphereweb.com DataSphere - Back end web programming, site security, and networking david.daugherty@netmanage.com Software Engineer NetManage - The Bridge to E-Business http://www.wcug.wwu.edu/~doc ICQ: 21106703 On Wed, 27 Sep 2000, Richard Glidden wrote: > Hi, > > I'm running FreeBSD 4.1.1 on an HP Vectra XU 5/90 machine (Dual P133). > I have 3 SCSI HD's running off the on-board AMD 53c794 (amd0) controller. > I have built a custom kernel, which is just GENERIC with the devices I > don't have commented out, and SMP turned on. > > Occasionally the whole SCSI system seems to lock up.
