Hi everyone,
I've just gotten two pieces of old hardware (an Adaptec 6x20 SCSI
controller and a HP 6020 CD-R), and was trying to make them to work
with FreeBSD (I'm running 4.7-PRERELEASE). I've tested the hardware
with Win2k and it works properly, but with FreeBSD it does not.
At boot-time, the kernel detects the aic0 device correctly, displays
the info on it and goes on until it tries to detect the devices
attached to it. Then it hangs and just stays there forever. A lot of
messages saying it timed-out while trying to communicate with the
device show up, but nothing else happens.
The options/devices I added to the kernel config file are:
device aic0 at isa?
device scbus
device cd
options SCSI_DELAY=0
Although I also tried the GENERIC kernel (from the same tree I
compiled my custom one, 4.7-PRERELEASE, Sept 13), and it hangs at the
same point as my custom kernel, only difference being it tells you
it's gonna wait 15 seconds for the devices to settle.
The SCSI_DELAY=0 is intentional, as I read on the manpage that it'd
reset the delay to the lowest possible, 100ms. I don't think the delay
is the issue here, though, but if any of you can show me how that could
be the problem, I'd really appreciate it. I tried searching for
answers in both FreeBSD.org mailing lists and Google, but no success up
to this moment.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, or just can enlighten me as
to get it fixed? Please CC any replies to me, as I am not subscribed
to the list.
Thank you all in advance,
Fred
PS: If other info on the system/hardware is needed, mail me and I'll
send it.
