Hi,

I've been consistently experiencing a problem with one of our FreeBSD boxes 
(the only one running a SCSI subsystem with an embedded Adaptec Ultra2 SCSI 
controller):

ahc0: <Adaptec aic7896/97 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> port 0xe400-0xe4ff mem 
0xfebfe000-0xfebfefff irq 16 at device 11.0 on pci0
ahc1: <Adaptec aic7896/97 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 
0xfebff000-0xfebfffff irq 16 at device 11.1 on pci0

About once a week, the following message is logged in the system's messages 
file, and the box stops responding altogether:

(da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Invalidating pack

I started experiencing this problem after migrating to 4.1.  I then 
upgraded to 4.1.1 and later to 4.2-STABLE hoping it was related to minor 
problems with the ahc driver that might have been fixed in the later 
releases, but unfortunately the problem persists.

Is there anyone out there experiencing the same problem?  Anyone that can 
shed some light on what's happening here?  As I mentioned, the problem 
manifests itself mostly after the box has been up for a few days -- no real 
"activity" to speak of, the machine is a router/firewall server.

Thanks,

-christian
