Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, We're getting errors installing 2.2.7-RELEASE onto a SD39173W 9Gb Baracuda plugged onto a Symbios 53C876e narrow bus with a wide-to-narrow converter (the economics of scale - we had to get another 4 of them anyway :-) The ncr driver picks up as two 53c875 buses as expected but then appears to try using the Baracuda in wide mode (possibly due to negotiation responses from the drive?) (The disk verifies fine and *wince* Windows 95 can boot OK...) The last two errors before a long pause are... sd4(ncr1:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (9 ff) 0f12b0000. ncr1: aborting job ncr1:0: ERROR (90:0) (8-a6-0) (0/5) @ (script a0:43000060). ncr1: script cmd = 078ab0000 ncr1: regdump: da 00 00 05 47 00 00 0f 71 08 00 a6 80 00 00 02. ncr1: restart (fatal error). sd4(ncr1:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (9 ff) 0f12b0000. sd4 could not mode sense(4). Using fictitious geometry 0MB (0 512 byte sectors) ncr1: aborting job Any help most appreciated Cheers, Daniel. ----------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Smith Senior Systems Software Programmer University of Cape Town Systems Administrator To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
