On a Dual P2 machine running up to 3.0-SNAP i had my workstations running perfect (Dual pentium at home, same card and 6 gig quantum scsi) Upon installing 3.0-RELEASE, i started to get scsi timeouts on both boxes, a la: Homer.Web-Ex.com kernel log messages: > (da0:bt0:0:0:0): CCB 0xf5544b40 - timed out > (da0:bt0:0:0:0): CCB 0xf5544b40 - timed out > bt0: No longer in timeout > swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device: 0x20401, blkno: 432, size: 4096 > swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device: 0x20401, blkno: 432, size: 4096 > (da0:bt0:0:0:0): CCB 0xf5542f80 - timed out > (da0:bt0:0:0:0): CCB 0xf5542f80 - timed out > bt0: No longer in timeout > swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device: 0x20401, blkno: 432, size: 4096 I initially contacted the developers to report a bug, which they acknowledged the 'flakiness' of the buslogic driver, and urged me to upgrade to a post 3.0-RELEASE SNAP, which I did, and kept upgrading to 3.1-RELEASE, with no resolution to the problem. The timeouts can last up to 30 seconds, freezing the machines console and Xwindows, but queueing up all kbd and mouse inputs. I am wondering since the developers acknowledged this back in (October?) if anyone has a solution for it. Thanks.
