Hello All I have been using FBSD 3.4 for the last few months, and have recently run into a backup problem that I cannot figure out. I am using v 3.4 with a newly rebuilt kernel. My MB is a Tiger-133 with x2 p3 500's. The SCSI controller is an Adaptec 2940U/UW. The devices I have on this SCSI device are: SCSI ID 3: HP 12/24GB SCSI ID 4: Plextor 12/2/20 CDRW The command I am using is "tar cvf /dev/nrsa0 /mediia." This is the problem I am having. The tape starts up and after about 5-7 min I recive the error: "ahc0: ahc_intr - referenced scb not valid during SELTO scb(0, 0)" in my newbieness and with an MS background. I have done the following. I first wanted to see if the card was bad, and replaced it with an older 2940U. FBSD generated the same error. Then I thought it might be the Tape unit. I tried a different tape backup (DLT4000) on an external SCSI cable, with a physical terminator. I used the same command ("tar cvf /dev/nrsa0 /mediia."), but after a minute the error came back. The SCSI Card is set to self terminate. Transfer rate has been set from 20 - 40 MB from the type of information I have gathered from the man pages on ahc. I semi-know what the SCB does, but I don't know how to adjust them. Somewhere I read that the scb 16/255 is set. Again I don't know where. I don't know if I should attempt to replace the CAM device driver (again my MS background taking hold) Could anyone point me to some information on how I can resolve this. "No matter how noble the cause or how valiant the knight, Some days, the dragon wins." I don't know who wrote this, but this dragon is definetly kicking my ass.
