Thats the only thing that leaps to mind. Ditto. My Really Old 2940's (purchased with 1.10 BIOS, fast not ultra) don't have this problem. Don't remember if the now-upgraded 1.16 BIOS even has SCAM. Chip is the aic7870. On newer cards with the aic7860 chip and 1.21 BIOS FreeBSD 2.2 would not reboot. It would cold boot into FreeBSD, just not a reboot. Adaptec's BIOS message would appear claiming to be scanning the SCSI bus. And hang. Dumb old Win95 didn't have that problem. Neither did some version of OS/2. Enabling SCAM cured the problem for FreeBSD. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
