Howdy! I got a 2.2.2-RELEASE box with a Adaptec 2940AU PCI SCSI controller, connected to a Quantum Fireball HD. I'm using kernel.GENERIC, and a TYAN motherboard (more specs if needed, since I haven't the machine here now). If I do a cold boot (I mean with the power switch) the BIOS sees the adaptec and I can boot from the hd (I installed FreeBSD on it :-), but if I do a warm boot (eg with "reboot") the bios doesn't sees the controller and I can't boot. Here is what I get from the bios during the boot: adaptec AHA-2940AU BIOS v1.21 Press CTRL-A for SCSI Select utility! [so it seems that the m/b bios sees the controller, but after about 15 secs I get:] time-out failure during SCSI inquiry command No SCSI boot device found SCSI BIOS not installed DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER :-( I *hope* ;-) I just have to compile a custom kernel...
