I just upgraded to FreeBSD 2.2.1 on my news server and have been seeing the exact same problem and it is getting very frustrating. I have the Adaptec 2940 running 3 4GB Seagate Hawks on a P5/100. Is anybody working on this problem? On Tue, 8 Apr 1997, Cayford Burrell wrote: > Hi there. We're having trouble with SCSI. Need > some help.
