I have begun installing FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE onto a server that has a Adaptec
29160 SCSI card.  I'm having problems when the install actually starts
writing the files to disk.  I get a large amount of errors (detailed later).

I checked everything out as far as system setup and it all seams good.
While installing, I found the entries that are in the GENERIC kernel for my
card's sisters, but not for my card (29160).  I then pulled out the
HARDWARE.TXT file and looked up the supported hardware.  it has the
274x/284x/294x for the GENERIC (under ahc0, which FBSD auto selects for my
card on boot), but later in the hardware list, I found in the Disc
Controllers listing for just about every card under the Adaptec sun
(including mine).  I was wondering, could the wrong driver be the root of my
problem, or is the driver just too new and untested?  Also, could I just
have bad hardware?


Thanks in advance,
Andrew Riley
