Here is the connection scheme: attached to a seagate Sidewinder tape drive (drive is terminated) | | 68pin internal wide ultra connector 68pin internal ultra 2 connector |------------| |---------------| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | --| | |---------------| | 50pin internal ultra connector | connected through the internal-to-external 68pin external cable to a RAID array (the RAID is terminated). ultra 2 connector ultra 2 connectors are not used. On the boot, the card detects both devices. First problem: During the boot, I get an error: Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle (probe0:ahc0:0:2:1): parity error during Command phase SEQADDR == 0x15c SCSIRATE == 0x95 panic: RAM parity error, likely hardware failure. syncing disks...done If I disable parity using the scsi card setup utility, the errors go away, but I am not sure that disabling parity is a good thing. Before, the same setup was used with Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter with the parity enabled. Second problem: if I boot with the parity off and try to mount a partition from a RAID, I get the message: # mount /dev/da0s1a /mnt mount: Device not configured as if the devices weren't compiled into the kernel (I am using a GENERIC kernel). dmesg shows: Probing for devices on PCI bus 2: ahc0: rev 0x00 int a irq 12 on pci2.10.0 ahc0: aic7890/91 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0 sa0: Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 20.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit) da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 2 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 16, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 40975MB (83918593 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 5223C) The SCSI card and the disk da0 are both recognized, and if I move the disk da0 to the old computer with the old SCSI card and the same kernel, I can mount the partition. Do you think the card could be defective? I have wasted a whole day on that thing and ran out of ideas -- any advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
