I've been having a devil of a time installing 4.1-RELEASE on a machine with a Supermicro 370DL3. The machine has a built in AIC7892 Ultra160 SCSI controller. I've tried LVD, UW, and narrow drives on all three connectors along with different cables and different drives. No combination will be successful. The install always picks a random point during the install of the bin dist to hang. Sometimes if I wait around long enough I will get a panic with SCB errors. To make sure the problem wasn't the SCSI controller I stuck an Adaptec 29160 in one of the 64-bit PCI slots and hooked the drive to that, turning the onboard SCSI controller off in the BIOS. I still receive the same behavior from sysinstall. This leads me to believe it is an issue related to 29160 support in 4.1-RELEASE. I don't have any Ultra160 capable drives but I've tried LVD 80, UW 40, and UN 20 drives on the appropriate connectors. Does anybody. anywhere have any advice on how to get FreeBSD installed on this machine and then how to make sure it's not going to crash in the future? My problem appears very similiar to this one found in the archives but not followed up on: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1702308+1705755+/usr/local/www/db/text/2000/freebsd-questions/20000319.freebsd-questions Brandon D.
