Well - Hoping to circumnavigate my aha2940UW problems in 2.1.6.1 (so I could backup everything to tape for an upgrade to 2.2-RELEASE); I grabbed the /sys from the 2.1-STABLE (post 2.1.7-RELEASE) on ftp.freebsd.org and built a kernel. Much to my dismay; this kernel could not recognize the disk on which I keep the user directories, an older Micropolis 1548. It fails in the probe. The 2.1.6.1 kernel reponds with (from dmesg): ahc0 <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI host adapter> rev 0 int a irq 15 on pci0:17 ahc0: aic7880 Wide Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (ahc0:0:0): "HP C3323-300 4242" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 1003MB (2056008 512 byte sectors) ahc0:A:1: refuses WIDE negotiation. Using 8bit transfers (ahc0:1:0): "MICROP 1548-15MZ1077802 HZ2P" type 0 fixed SCSI 1 sd1(ahc0:1:0): Direct-Access 1635MB (3349512 512 byte sectors) (ahc0:2:0): "WANGTEK 5150ES SCSI FA23 08" type 1 removable SCSI 1 st0(ahc0:2:0): Sequential-Access drive offline (ahc0:3:0): "NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:400 1.0" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(ahc0:3:0): CD-ROM cd0(ahc0:3:0): NOT READY asc:3a,0 Medium not present can't get the size (Note the (ahc0:1:0) lines). However, the 2.1-STABLE (post 2.1.7) kernel responds in almost exactly the same manor, with one difference: (ahc0:1:0) ABORTED COMMAND asc:49,0 Invalid message error and thus, that SCSI disk isn't added to the list of configured devices... So, I can't reference it to make a tape to do a backup.... (bummer) I imagine this occurs with 2.2-RELEASE as well (since these two now have similar aic7870 drivers - or am I mistaken.) But I haven't tried it. I will add that a 2.2-GAMMA release in January did not have this particular problem; as I verified that my SCSI tape problems were corrected with it... - Dave Rivers -
