The following reply was made to PR kern/3671; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Helbig@BA-Stuttgart.DE To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, markd@Grizzly.COM Cc: Subject: Re:kern/3671:SCSItape drive with AHA2940 locksup system. Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 11:33:11 +0200 (MET DST) Here are some more facts, that might help to fix the bug. This all happened on a machine with ASUS P55T2P4 motherboard and Adaptec AHA 2940 SCSI controller while trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.1 from a Toshiba CDROM XM-3801 TA, SCSI-ID 2 to Seagate ST52160N harddisk, SCSI-ID 0. Installing with 2.2.1 boot.flp went fine till copying started to the HD. The system hang after about two seconds. The same happened when installing with a 2.2.2 boot.flp. <ALT F4> or <ALT F2> did not work - no panic messages. Trying to install with a 2.1.7 (*not* 2.1.7.1) boot.flp gave us a panic message with approximately these wordings: Target did not send identify ... A workaround consisted of setting "Initiating Sync Negotiation" to "NO" on all SCSI-ID w/o devices and setting "Enable Disc Connection" to "YES" on all SCSI-IDs w/o devices in the Adaptec BIOS. Menu "Additinal Options", Submenu "SCSI Device Configuration". After this, the installation worked like a charm. Hope this helps. Wolfgang
