Greetings, I have an interesting quandary that perhaps someone can shed some light on for me: I have a Dell PowerApp 200 running FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE (Aug 27) and have been struggling with a SCSI problem for about a month now (ever since I installed FreeBSD on it). I compiled XFree86 4.1.0 and Enlightenment 16 out of the Ports Collection (along with various other programs, all compiled out of Ports). Installation went smoothly and I was up and running within hours. However I am getting strange ahc0 and fxp0 messages that cause the machine to respond very slowly. This starts seemingly at random (though it is more likely to occur under heavy disk usage, for instance when the daily cron jobs run) and only a reboot will fix it. At first I thought it was an issue with the ahc driver, but I have tried several versions from the CVS repository with no success. I have noticed that if I do not open any Eterm windows it seems to last longer (which I find rather strange). On a hunch, I compiled and installed KDE 2.2 and started running that. It has been running for a week with no problems. I am now testing whether running Eterm, GKRellm, or xscreensaver (the three programs I was running with Enlightenment) have any effect. Has anyone else had issues like this? Some system info: dmesg info: ahc0: <Adaptec aic7899 Ultra160 SCSI adapter> port 0xcc00-0xccff mem 0xf4fff000-0xf4ffffff irq 10 at device 4.0 on pci3 aic7899: Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs ahc1: <Adaptec aic7899 Ultra160 SCSI adapter> port 0xc800-0xc8ff mem 0xf4ffe000-0xf4ffefff irq 5 at device 4.1 on pci3 aic7899: Wide Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs fxp0: <Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet> port 0xece0-0xecff mem 0xfcf00000-0xfcffffff,0xfafff000-0xfaffffff irq 10 at device 4.0 on pci1 fxp0: Ethernet address 00:03:47:3b:91:06 inphy0: <i82555 10/100 media interface> on miibus0 inphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto fxp1: <Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet> port 0xecc0-0xecdf mem 0xfce00000-0xfcefffff,0xfaffe000-0xfaffefff irq 5 at device 5.0 on pci1 fxp1: Ethernet address 00:03:47:3b:91:07 inphy1: <i82555 10/100 media interface> on miibus1 inphy1: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto Logs: Aug 18 04:27:27 hostname /kernel: fxp2: device timeout Aug 18 04:29:01 hostname /kernel: fxp2: device timeout Aug 18 04:31:01 hostname /kernel: ahc0: Timedout SCB already complete.
