Earlier this week I had asked about my Seagate 43401N drive which wasn't being read correctly. I had several dozen people mail me telling me to fix the partition table, and I tried to tell as many as I could that BSD wasn't even getting as far as reading the partition table, and the disklabeling program wouldn't even let me access the disk to make any changes. Even turning off extended translation in the adaptor setup didn't work. After screwing around for a few days I found the solution: TURN OFF THE "INITIATE WIDE NEGOTIATION" BIT IN THE ADAPTOR SETUP! That worked. Now I have another problem. I recompiled a kernel to add a second adhc device for my other Adaptec 2742, and took out all of the superfluous device lines in the kernel configuration. It compiled correctly, but hung right after finishing loading the kernel and probing devices (but it did probe the second adaptor correctly). I started over from GENERIC and this time the only change I made was adding the second adhc device. Same problem. I made the device line exactly identical to the first device line except for changing adhc1 to adhc2. I am not loading the BIOS from the second adaptor and I changed the IRQ on the second one to 12 (the first IRQ is 11) because when they were both set to 11 (Adaptec says to keep them the same) BSD refused to probe the second bus. Any suggestions? ============================================= Matt Rosenberg Washington University School of Law St. Louis, MO, USA mar7@cec.wustl.edu ; rosenbem@wulaw.wustl.edu http://www.cec.wustl.edu/~mar7/ =============================================
