No matter what combination of the following hardware/software I use, I get this error at some (seemingly random) time during disk-intensive activities (cvsup, makes, etc): (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Invalidating pack (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): SCB 0x1f - timed out while idle, SEQADDR == 0xa (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Queueing a BDR SCB (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): no longer in timeout, status = 34a (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Invalidating pack (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): SCB 0x1f - timed out while idle, SEQADDR == 0xa (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Queueing a BDR SCB (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): no longer in timeout, status = 34a (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Invalidating pack (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Invalidating pack (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Invalidating pack (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Invalidating pack (da0:ahc0:0:0:0): Invalidating pack [etc] After which the machine hangs and requires a hard reboot. I've tried 3.4-RELEASE, 4.0-RELEASE, and 4.0-STABLE snapshot (20000718 and 0723) with all the following hardware combinations: Seagate ST39216W with Adaptec 2940UW Pro Seagate ST39216W with Advansys 3940UW Seagate ST39216N with Adaptec 2940U Seagate ST39216N with Adaptec 2940UW Pro Seagate ST39216N with Advansys 3940UW I've tried low-level formating the drive(s) before net-installing. I've tried two different motherboards/CPUs (Using an ABIT KA7 with an 800 MHz Athlon currently... or at least trying). The other motherboard is a Soyo V6BE+ with a PII 400. I've tried LVD cables, terminated and unterminated. I'm confident this is not the problem since all SCSI cards above detect and report incorrect termination. I've tried three different 68-pin cables. I've tried restoring the motherboards and controllers to factory defaults. I've updated the EPROM on the 2940UW Pro controller. I've swapped the RAM. Today I had a more experienced colleage try the install on my hardware to eliminate the possibility of me doing something dumb every time. It still broke with the above error during the make buildworld. There was some discussion of this error a while back on this list, but I never saw a resolution (if there is, I can't find it in the mailing list archives). Anyone have any idea what might be causing this and how I would go about fixing it?
