The jumpers are set wrong on the card. I had the exact same problem with an aha-1542 and aha-1540 card recently. The docs on the jumpers that you can get on Adaptec's site are kind of cryptic, but the card will work once you get the jumpers placed correctly. Currently I have mine running at irq 9, drq 5 and my jumpers are setup like this: J5 pin 8 jumpered pin 9 the jumper is on one pin J9 pins 2, 6, and 9 are jumpered. I have that configuration running on two systems now working great. Let me know how it goes for ya. --Damon On Fri, 7 Jul 2000, Robert Small wrote: > I installed an Adaptec AHA-1542 controller in my system tonight, and > hooked up a Sony SDT-5000 tape drive. > > When I try to boot into FreeBSD (5.0-20000511-CURRENT FreeBSD > 5.0-20000511-CURRENT #4: Thu Jul 6 20:31:41 CDT 2000) I receive: > > Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle down > (approximately 30-45 seconds later) > (Probe0:aha0:0:0:0) CCB 0xc782c508 > (Probe0:aha0:0:0:0) CCB 0xc782c508 > aha0: aha_cmd: Timeout waiting for adapter idle > ahainitmboxes: Initialization command failed > aha0 no longer in timeout > (Probe6:aha0:0:6:0) CCB 0xc782c508 > (Probe6:aha0:0:6:0) CCB 0xc782c508 > aha0: aha_cmd: Timeout waiting for adapter idle > ahainitmboxes: Initialization command failed > aha0 no longer in timeout > > And it keeps repeating.
