Hi, I would be really greatful for any help - I have to install FreeBSD onto a Dell PowerEdge 1550 we just bought to be an internet server. I'm using FreeBSD 4.1 from the CDs I got with 'The Complete FreeBSD (2nd Edition)'. During install either when writing files to the SCSI drive, or (just now) 'Making slice entries for da0s1' it craps out and stops... If I 'Alt-F2' I get one of these error messages: (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): SCB 0x4a - timed out while idle, SEQADDR == 0x9 (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Queing a BDR SCB (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Bus Device Reset Message Sent (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): no longer in timeout, status = 34b ahc0: Bus Device Reset on A:0. 63 SCBs aborted ahc0:A:0: ahc_intr = referenced scb not valid during seqint 0x71 scb(57) ahc0: WARNING no command for scb 57(cmdcmplt) QOUTPOS = 95 That repeats every 20 seconds or so indefinately. I've tried installing it several times, trying to do a minimal or maximal install - I've updated the BIOS, and firmware with updates from Dell's site - and yet it still doesn't work :0| Has anyone got any suggestions? -Rob -------------------------------- http://www.robhulme.com http://www.christianunion.org.uk "May the forks be with us." - Blue Raja (Mystery Men) Everything you've learned in school as "obvious" becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe.
