X-BeenThere: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: SCSI subsystem List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2006 02:02:22 -0000 I sure hope I am not alone in this... I have a Tyan S5350 motherboard, EM64T Nocona, 7320 chipset. I am having great difficulty getting it to work with SCSI drives. I have tried both Adaptec 19160 and 2120S SCSI-RAID. Basically, when I get to "Waiting for scsi devices to settle".... about 30 seconds goes by, then I get a bunch of COMMAND TIMEOUTS (either ahc0 or aac0). Eventually, the card dumps, and I get some stuff about SCB timeout, SCB reset, then Infinite interrupt loop, INTSTAT = 0ahc0: Timedout SCBs already completed, interrupts may not be functioning. I'm sorry I dont have the exact output, but it is tough to jot everything down by hand. Tomorrow I can put a console on it, and paste the errors. I saw some similar output in the archives. Some of the resolution was disabling ACPI, but it was for a different motherboard. I have tried to disable ACPI, no effect. I have also tried playing with int13 enable/disable, no luck. I have tried multiple cards, multiple cables, and multiple disks. Is this just a bad compatibility issue between FreeBSD and the Tyan board? The Bios does complain about "no int13 drive support" after the 2120S initialize, not sure what that is all about. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks John
